There are two types of investment immigrants in New Zealand: ordinary investment immigrants and high investment immigrants. The number of ordinary investment immigrants in New Zealand is 300 per year, which is selected in the form of EOI, including age, work experience and investment points (the more investment, the more points). Successful applicants can get an invitation letter to apply for investment immigration. After the application principle is passed, the funds will be transferred within a certain period of time.
High-investment immigrants have no age limit, no language requirements, no grading, no EOI invitation, and the three-year investment period is one year shorter than that of ordinary investment immigrants.

8. After the investment expires, the whole family gets unconditional permanent residency, and there is no immigration supervisor.
Third, the processing cycle of investment immigration.
The overall cycle of high-investment immigrants in New Zealand is 7- 14 months, and permanent residency is obtained in 3.5 -4 years.
2. New Zealand immigration model
First, entrepreneurial immigrants.
Entrepreneurial immigrants began to implement the scoring system, and they need to reach 120 or more to be selected. Compared with investment immigrants, the capital threshold of entrepreneurial immigrants is much lower, but its difficulty is usually obvious, that is, the requirement of "at least three years of business experience". The types of working experience are: legal person, shareholder and senior manager. If the "business experience" comes from "the position of the company's senior management", it must be at least 5 years' experience, and the company is required to achieve an annual turnover of NZD 654.38+0 million, or employ more than 5 full-time employees. The business type of entrepreneurial immigrants is export business. Including product export, tourism export, education export and IT export. 120 scoring system includes: age bonus, business experience bonus, investment bonus, export bonus, employee bonus, regional bonus, etc.
Second, invest in immigration.
Investment immigrants have high capital threshold, but low requirements for English, education and work experience, so they are well-funded application options. New Zealand investment immigrants are divided into two categories. The first type of investment immigrants have no English requirements. Applicants must invest in New Zealand for not less than NZ $654.38+million for three years. The second type of investment immigrants require IELTS 3 points. The application threshold was raised from S $6,543,800+0.5 million to S $3 million, and accordingly, the number of places per year was increased from 300 to 400. Due to the huge amount of investment, the basic requirements of a class of investment immigrants are relatively loose except for no criminal record, no record of improper business practices and good health. Applicants with sufficient funds can consider such immigrants.
Third, skilled immigrants.
Skilled immigrants are the largest group in the immigrant army. There are generally three ways. The first way is to apply for immigration through studying abroad and get a work permit. The second is to apply for a work visa on the basis that the applicant meets the short-term professional requirements, and then apply for a green card after finding a job; The third is to apply for immigration through the employer's guarantee to reach the score line.
Whether you can successfully apply for skilled migration depends on scoring your own situation according to the New Zealand immigration scoring system: if your score is 160 or above as stipulated in the New Deal, you will be automatically selected in the biweekly evaluation after submitting your application for skilled migration intention, and then the Immigration Bureau will preliminarily verify your score. If the situation is true and your score is correct, you will receive the "invitation letter for skilled immigrants" and enter the formal application stage.
3. How do New Zealand immigrants choose schools for their children
Schools in New Zealand are divided into so-called districts, and children usually go to school in the districts including their homes.
However, you can also apply for your child to go to a school in another area, but if the school is very popular and there are not enough places, the children living in the school will be given priority. Schools are usually very strict about this. Therefore, when you decide to become a New Zealand immigrant, it is worth considering the living area carefully.
State comprehensive schools, that is, Catholic or Montessori schools with "special nature", have no geographical areas. Assign places to students according to who will benefit from the characteristics of the school.
I. How to go to school
When choosing a school, you should consider how your children get there. Every suburb and town has primary schools, sometimes several. Most New Zealand pupils can go to school on foot or by bike, but some parents choose to go by car. Many young students take the "walking school bus", which is an organized and supervised queuing group. This is a good way for your children to know other children who may not be in their class.
Middle schools and secondary schools are usually larger than primary schools, and they serve a wider geographical area. Children are more likely to go to school by bike or by public transport.
Some schools have transportation subsidies, which means that either they provide special school bus services for students or parents are eligible for subsidies to help pay for transportation.
Second, find a school.
There are many ways to find information about the school you are considering.
1, school records
The "Education Statistics" website of the Ministry of Education has useful data about schools, including the number of students, attendance records and students' performance in national standards or qualifications.
The Education Counting website also has links to the reports of the Education Review Office (ERO) of each school. ERO is a government agency that evaluates school performance. It evaluates every school in New Zealand at least once every three years and publishes a report online.
2. School website
Schools in New Zealand also have their own websites.
3. School visit
You should personally visit the school, talk to the staff, and personally check the school's venues and facilities. Contact the school directly, or make an appointment, or ask when the school will hold the next "open day" (the day when anyone can visit and visit the school), which is an opportunity for many New Zealand immigrants to learn about the school.
