Amendments To Temporary Entry & Residence Immigration Instructions

Immigration New Zealand has made some amendments to temporary entry and residence immigration instructions effective 5 August 2021.

Changes made to Temporary Entry instructions

Partners and dependent children applying for a visa on the basis of their relationship to an Essential Skills Work Visa holder do not need to provide medical and chest x-ray certificates if they have already provided them with a previous visa application.

Changes made to Residence and Temporary Entry instructions

The requirement to provide police certificates with the application has been removed for 2 groups of applicants:

Partners and dependent children applying for a visa on the basis of their relationship to an Essential Skills Work Visa applicant/holder, who have provided these certificates with a previous visa application
Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) workers who have been in New Zealand for a sustained period due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic
