Would you please d a video about Guardian Visa can do, such as rights to work, study or even change visa types? Thanks!

Would you please do a vidoe about what Guardian Visa can do in NZ? Like rights to work, study or even change to Work Visa etc.? Thanks!

I am just a factory worker in an operator position, although with a mechanical profession. Do you think I would have any chance of settling down in New Zealand? I mean, don't you have shortage professions and people with high education can go? At the end of the day manual workers are always needed everywhere.

Is it true have 80.000 immigrants been allowed in an economic decline, kiwis are suffering over 150.000 kiwis homeless and when you allow immigrants into Nz you house them first, whatever happened to New Zealanders First ? Where is the sense in allowing more immigrants in an already struggling country? Answer that please !?

Thank you sharing. Have you successfully helped clients with character waivers in the past? Is it possible for you to provide a preliminary assessment of whether a waiver is realistic for a given case?

Could there be corruption by immigration consultants ? And lack of scrutiny by Immigration NZ..?

I went to Portugal and before I went there I learned Portuguese, if you don't want to learn the basics of any language then don't go there.

Thanks a lot

very hard

Hi, thanks for the information. Please if I have a PhD from Malaysian University in the exemption list. With the 6points from this route, can I apply for SMC 6 without a job offer or employment?

Hi Arran. The English requirement is essential. This is NZ. Sick of getting on a bus or going to a supermarket and hearing nothing but confident, loud, foreign languages being spoken, I find it rude. "When in Rome comes to mind".

Good, way too many single Indian men.

Thank Christ for little mercies!

Thank you Arran for keeping us updated. I currently have a 2-year AEWV as a Room Attendant. When I apply for a one-year AEWV in 2025, will I need to submit an IELTS? I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management, and the medium of instruction at the school I graduated from was English. I appreciate your reply.

Kiwis first!

Hi Aaron, would like to ask is it mandatory to submit the payslip for 24 months as part of the requirement for bus driver residency?

Hello Arran, What would be options for a candidate where they are on AEWV and the employer liquidates the company and its not the employees fault at all. Do they have to leave the country immediately or can inform immigration and seek for some time while they look for another job to apply a new AEWV or job change? They cant get "Dismissal Work Visa" as it was not a dismissal in 90 days in trial as its been 5 months of their employer. Should they also apply for Visitor for the same or what would be their status during now and their new application? P.S. They have not been contacted by INZ yet asking anything, the employer just informed them that the company is liquidated and dont have any more work to give to the employees. Thanks!

I wish i go back in time and apply for smc visa which doesn't require nz experience , which they ask now

Thanks for creating a very useful video Arran. Your work is very concise and accurate. Much appreciated

Hi.. I started my skilled work in aug 2023 with median wages $30 level 3 job but my employer did not increase my feb 2024 median wages which is around $31.61. Can I still claim 1 point for 1 years experience for SMC VISA.. I appreciate

Hello Sir! I recently subscribed to your KZfaq channel and I'm reaching out to inquire about the recent updates to the AEWV eligibility, particularly the new English test requirement. I'm curious if INZ accepts "English certificate as the medium of instruction" from college or tertiary institution in the Philippines to exempt from this English test requirement. My occupation falls under ANZSCO Level 4/5, which now mandates passing an English test with a minimum overall score. On the INZ website, it mentions exemptions based on the so-called "English-Speaking Background" as an alternative way to prove English proficiency for various visas, excluding Resident Visas. However, as a Filipino, I'm unsure if this applies to the new English language requirement for AEWV eligibility, given that I completed my primary to tertiary education in the Philippines, a country not listed among the accepted English-speaking countries - Aus, NZ, UK, US. (This information is detailed in one article). Under the AEWV's new English language requirement, it specifies "English-speaking background" as an exemption criterion, but only for those listed English-speaking countries. This means the Philippines is not applicable, and therefore, I would need to take an English Test. (This information is detailed in a separate article). To clarify further, here's the logic behind my inquiry: • English-Speaking Background: Accepted or listed countries are not specified, suggesting that I may be able to use my Philippine English certificate as medium of instruction in college to prove my English language proficiency. (Separate article in INZ) • New changes of AEWV in terms of English language requirement: English-speaking background can be used, but only for those accepted or listed English-speaking countries. (Also a separate article in INZ). Could you please provide clarity on this matter, Sir?

Hi, when i logged in to my realme account in nz, my aewv visa application is missing under the submitted applications. there was nothing on the list. I even ask another person who lodge her visa and same as mine her application was gone. any idea about this? thank you.

Hi Arran, thanks for the informative video. I've a PhD degree from Nz University, graduated in 2023. I now hold a contract agreement which makes me all qualified under skilled Migrant for residency. However, I've few doubts. What if my company say has the Accredirion license valid upto halfway through this year (which means they'll have to renew at that point). I don't know how this applies to me but I'm just overthinking/being critical with every point as I've had bad memories with immigration in the past for renewing my student visa even when I didn't leave the country since 2019. I've the wage i. e. More than 1.5 times as per the Immigration rules. Just wanted to know if there'll be any impact on residency applications too as I don't want to lose my hard earned money finally Immigration saying sorry. I'd appreciate if you can respond. Cheers.

Hi Arran, thank you for keeping us updated on all the new immigration changes. It is very much appreciated.

Hi there,I just want to ask. I got my AEWV last September 2022. 3year validation as a scaffolder and what is the level of my job.can I apply for 2 years extension.thanks

Hi Arran,I just want to ask about us as scaffolder AEWV,my visa start last October 2022,and 3 years contract.I don't know what is the level for scaffolder and can I apply for extension of two years?thank you for the answer

Immigrants must speak ENGLISH to apply to come here and first priority is to integrate, not whine about not having their cultural needs met, go back home if you are not accepting this as home.

Sir,how about vehicle painter work permit.plzz let me know

Earlier, they were taking skilled professionals, now everybody is game.

I am a waste water technician and plant operator , I’m not sure about my situation, can still be eligible for residency?

Thanks for this video! Please one single question: I have a AEWV holder. I have this visa from march 2023 and it’s for three years. I’m not in tier 2 or green list… by the time, I’ll be affected to my residence application? Because before this changes anyone who worked 2 years at least medium wage could apply… do you know what happens with my situation?

Hi there. I am a level 1. I have been here for 18 months. I see that my current rate is below the current green list rate. I am not sure if this means I do not qualify for residency or if I have options. I was under the impression at the time of applying for the Aewv that I would be able to apply for residency after 2 years of working here. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Arran. Thanks for the informative video. My husband is currently in NZ holding a work visa but will expire soon so will be applying for AEWV soon. He's been working as Caregiver in NZ for almost 4 years now but got just got his NZQA Level 4 qualification last December 2023 and was paid $28.25 per hour fulltime. In immig website, Aged care is 1 of 6 roles recognized at Skill level 3 if he meets specific skilll requirement, does that mean he does not need to take english test?

Hi there, Just want to ask. I got my Work Visa last March 2023 (3yrs) as a Butcher, what is the level of my job? Am I not eligible for the 2yrs extension? My wife and kids are already here in New Zealand. (Partnership Visa) Are we not eligible to apply for Residency due to the changes?
