12月19日（周四）紐西蘭移民局公布：自2020年2月24日起，技術移民和技能工作籤證的薪資門檻將上調。
立思辰留學雲消息，移民局表示今後每年11月將進行薪資調整，本次的調整是從明年2月24日開始實行，是根據紐西蘭收入中位數（時薪25.5紐幣）制定的，這個數字同比目前的時薪25紐幣上漲了2%。按照一周工作40個小時計算，這相當於年薪要達到53040紐幣。
讓我們先了解下ANZSCO
*ANZSCO是紐西蘭和澳大利亞共用的一個職業分類標準，類似於職業大典。這個標準不是紐西蘭移民局定的，是由紐西蘭統計局、澳大利亞統計局、澳大利亞勞工部頒布的關於紐西蘭和澳大利亞的行業以及僱傭的標準。
*AZNSCO中一共有998個獨立職位，紐西蘭移民局的665個技能職位，就是從ANZSCO目錄中挑選出。
*這是一本目前能判定職位等級（1-5級，其中1級最高），決定技術工籤和技術移民的職業大典。

Annual review of remuneration thresholds
薪酬門檻年度審查
Once a year we update the remuneration or pay rate thresholds for the Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) Resident Visa and the Essential Skills Work Visa. The new thresholds are based on the New Zealand median salary and wage rate of NZD $25.50 per hour (up 2% from last year) which is equivalent to NZD $53,040 per year for a 40-hour per week job. NOTE Changes to the income thresholds will not affect the duration or conditions of visas that we have already granted.
我們每年更新一次技術移民類別（SMC）居民籤證和技能工作籤證的薪資門檻。新的薪資門檻是根據紐西蘭的工資中位數25.50紐幣（比去年上升2％）而定的，相當於每周工作40小時，年薪53,040紐幣。注意：薪資門檻的改變不會影響已獲批籤證的期限或條件。
2019 review We normally update the thresholds in November each year. This year we are updating them later so that workers and employers have more time to prepare for the changes. The changes come into effect on 24 February 2020. In future, we will continue to update the thresholds in November, but we will communicate the changes earlier.
回顧2019，我們通常會在每年的11月更新薪資門檻。今年，我們將在稍後對其進行更新，以便員工和僱主有更多時間為這些變化做準備。變化將於2020年2月24日生效。以後我們仍會在11月份更新薪資門檻變化，但會儘早溝通變更事宜。

Before then — between 26 November 2019 and 23 February 2020 — they were lower-skilled if they were paid NZD $21.24 or less per hour (NZD $44,179 per year).
ANZSCO 低技能工作，從2020年2月24日起，若時薪低於21.67紐幣或年薪低於45,074紐幣，則為低技能工作。在此之前，即2018年11月26日至2020年2月23日之間，若時薪低於21.24紐幣或年薪低於44,179紐幣，則為低技能工作。
Lower-skilled employment at ANZSCO Levels 4 and 5 From 24 February 2020, Essential Skills applicants paid NZD $38.24 or less per hour (NZD $79,539 per year), will be lower-skilled. Before then — between 26 November 2019 and 23 February 2020 — they were lower-skilled if they were paid NZD $37.49 or less per hour (NZD $77,979 per year).

Time in Force
生效時間
If you apply for an Essential Skills Work Visa before 24 February 2020 If you apply for, or have applied for, an Essential Skills work visa and we receive your application before 24 February 2020, the old thresholds will be used to assess and determine your visa application.
如果您在2020年2月24日之前申請技能工作籤證如果您正準備或已經申請了基本技能工作籤證，而我們在2020年2月24日之前收到了您的申請，我們將採用舊的薪資要求評估您的籤證申請。
If you apply for an Essential Skills Work Visa on or after 24 February 2020 Only new applications we receive on or after 24 February 2020 will be assessed against the new threshold. The new thresholds will apply, even if the employment agreement was signed before 24 February 2020.
如果您在2020年2月24日以後申請基本技能工作籤證在2020年2月24日或之後收到的新申請，我們會根據新的薪資要求進行評估。即使是在2020年2月24日之前籤署了就業協議，新的薪資要求仍將適用。
If you are applying for a further visa, this may mean the conditions or visa duration of the next visa could be different. For example, a chef paid NZD $21.50 an hour would currently be considered mid-skilled, as the occupation is ANZSCO level 2 and the pay is above the existing threshold of $21.25. If they applied for a further visa after 24 February 2020 they would be considered low skilled, unless their pay increased to above the new threshold of NZD $21.68.
如果您要申請其他籤證，這意味著下一個籤證的條件或期限可能會有所不同。 例如，一名廚師當前時薪為21.50紐幣，因為該職業是ANZSCO 2級，並且時薪高於現階段要求的21.25紐幣，目前被認為是中級技能。 如果他們在2020年2月24日之後再次申請籤證，他們將被視為低技能工種，除非他們的工資增加到新的薪資門檻21.68紐幣以上。
截止到今年9月份的數據，過去一年的紐西蘭通脹係數是1.5%，因此移民局做出2%的薪資調整是合情理的，符合紐西蘭技術移民要求和經濟發展現狀。因此，該調整並不應該被認為是針對居民籤證或工作籤證的收緊，而是計劃內的正常調整。在紐西蘭的大部分公司在正常的升職加薪調整以外，僱主通常每年會根據通脹指數為員工漲薪，因此對於計劃移民和正在辦理移民的朋友來說2%的調整並不會造成顯著的障礙。
