The Migrant Employment Data (MED) combines Immigration New Zealand’s visa data with Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax data to provide measures of how many people are engaged in the labour market each month, by industry, visa type, geographic area, and demographic characteristics.
The Government has introduced a Bill that will make targeted amendments to the Immigration Act 2009
We survey recent migrants about their experiences of life in New Zealand and report on their settlement outcomes. We also survey New Zealanders about their perceptions of migrants and immigration to better understand community attitudes.
Migrant Trends 2016-2017 is the 17th in an annual report series examining trends in temporary and permanent migration to and from New Zealand.
We proactively release Cabinet papers and supporting advice on our policy work.
New measures have come into force on 1 July 2021 to better protect migrants from exploitation.
We are changing the way employers recruit some migrants for temporary work in New Zealand.
Since it began in 2007, the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Scheme has enabled employers in the horticulture and viticulture sector to recruit an annually capped number of seasonal workers from eligible Pacific Island countries to plant, maintain, harvest, or pack crops.
From time to time we seek public comment on a specific issue through a formal consultation process.
The updated agreement replaces the previous version concluded in October 2022.
