Vet and Vet Clinic Immigration New Zealand matters | visas | MIQ | ep 051

When it comes to matters "immigration" in New Zealand there are all sorts of changing scenarios - almost weekly.

Licensed Immigration consultant Katy Armstrong of IntoNZ chats with Julie South about what's news. 

Here's what Katy and Julie talked about:

Julie's petition to have two MIQ spaces allocated each week to vets issued visas by Immigration NZ

• Is the median wage expected to change?    If so: 
  • What difference is that going to make and when does it kick in?
•  For vets wanting their Permanent Residency what:
   
  • Visa do they need to be on to get that?
  • When can they start applying? 
  • Who’s eligible?   
  • Is it just a visa or is there an entry date / arrival date criteria too?
• Long Term Skills Visa – is that still a thing?
• Skilled Migrant Visa – what is that?   Does this apply to vets?
• What are processing times, do you know?
• How many vets have so far been approved under the “June 50”?
• How many vets have been approved this year?
• Do you know how many vets per annum are usually approved in normal times (ie, pre-pandemic)?  
  • Do you know what we’re averaging 2020 and 2021?
• What else do vets and/or vet clinics need to know as at today?
