As part of a package announced tonight, working holiday and employer-assisted work visas will be pushed forward six months. A 12-month stand-down period for low-paid Essential Skills visa holders working in New Zealand for three years will also be put on hold until January 2022. The Immigration Minister Kris Faafoi said the changes would help businesses retain migrant workforces. With the labour market outlook being more optimistic, we are implementing a range of changes to ensure the migrant workforce already in New Zealand can supplement employers efforts to recruit New Zealanders who have lost jobs due to COVID, Faafoi said.
