The New Zealand government says that it plans to ‘reset’ its immigration policies when it reopens its borders, making it increasingly difficult for some workers to enter the country.
In a statement on Monday (17 May), the New Zealand government announced it would be narrowing pathways for those hoping to migrate and work in the country, particularly those it classed as ‘low-skill’ and low-wage workers.
While New Zealand’s shift away from welcoming migrant workers will affect how many South Africans can successfully emigrate there – rich South Africans will likely benefit from its policy focus on drawing wealth.
