Immigration New ZealandUpdate Visa Changes 14.03.2025
Stronger health requirements for dependent children of temporary visa holders
The Government is strengthening the health screening requirements for dependent children of temporary visa holders.
From 17 March 2025, new student and visitor visa applicants who are applying as the dependent child of work, student or military visa holders will no longer be considered to meet the threshold for the acceptable standard of health requirement if they have a severe developmental disorder or severe cognitive impairment that requires significant support.
These stronger requirements do not apply to children applying for a Fee Paying Student Visa.
This change will help manage costs and demands on New Zealand’s health and education services, and give better transparency and fairness for those who become settled here and find they do not qualify when they come to apply for residence visas.

Immigration New ZealandUpdate Visa Changes
20.02.2025
AEWV changes coming in March
In December 2024, the Government announced reforms to the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) scheme which, will be implemented over the course of 2025.
This is an update on the second phase of these changes, which take effect on 10 March 2025. The changes include:
Accredited employers will no longer have to pay specific wage thresholds. Instead, the New Zealand minimum wage applies, and employers need to pay the market rate for the job. This change does not affect existing wages in employment agreements. The AEWV duration for new migrants in a lower-skilled role will increase to 3 years, to align with the maximum time they can stay in New Zealand on an AEWV. Those currently on 2-year visas will be able to apply for a further year. Some lower-skilled AEWV roles will be treated at a higher skill level. Migrants who wish to bring their children to New Zealand must earn at least NZD$55,844 a year. The previous income threshold will continue to apply where a child held a visa on or had applied for a visa before 10 March 2025. This means that children who are already in the country do not have to leave if their parent can meet the old threshold but not the new one. Changes to supporting partners and Parent Category sponsorship From 28 February 2025:
Wage threshold for eligible AEWV holders to support open work rights for partners is increasing from NZD$25.29 to $26.85 per hour. The income threshold for the Parent Category is increasing from at least NZD $98,623.20 to support one parent, to at least $104,707.20. Changes to Interim Visas coming in April 2025In April 2025, some work and student visa holders who apply for an AEWV can receive an Interim Visa that allows them to work while they are awaiting the outcome of their AEWV. More information about this will be available in March.
