New Zealand to restore open work rights for skilled migrants' partners starting December 2, 2024.

New Zealand's government will restore open work rights for partners of skilled migrants starting December 2, 2024. This decision addresses skill shortages and aims to attract talent by allowing partners of Accredited Employer Work Visa holders to work freely. The changes fulfill a coalition commitment and include plans for a five-year renewable parent visa, contingent on healthcare cost coverage. These measures are designed to support family unity and enhance New Zealand's appeal to migrants.
