Immigration instruction changes

Steve Baker • September 5, 2024

The April 7 2024 Immigration instruction changes have refocused attention on the importance of ANZSCO codes.


ANZSCO grades occupations according to a skill level. ANZSCO skill levels range from 1 to 5, with 1 being the most skilled and 5 being less skilled.


In general, the bigger the range and complexity of tasks required, the more education, work experience or training a worker will need to do them.


ANZSCO shows the level of skill that is typically required to competently perform the tasks of an occupation.

INZ have updated their data on ANZSCO as contained on their webpage. 

This is a valuable tool to assist all migrants ascertain their ANZSCO skill level.

If your role is deemed a lower-level skilled role, you need to be very careful with any AEWV application. 

If you require support, please contact the team at Advisa for obligation free advice.

Active Investor Plus Visa - AI+ 2.0 The New Zealand Government announced changes to NZ’s Active Investor Plus Category on 9.2.25. This signals to the international investment market that NZ is open for business. These changes from 1st April 2025 will ensure those who engage with investors will extract potentially greater investment on a far greater scale than is currently being achieved. This will finally deliver the economic benefits that the policy was designed to create. Over the past two years, we have seen a significant number of potential investors discouraged by the investor visa route into New Zealand. These changes to the AI+ settings are a refinement that removes any unnecessary complexity and rewards high-wealth individuals who wish to invest in NZ. The current settings have been unable to achieve the projected interest, and as such, increased interest and investment into NZ is highly likely.
