This year, the number of work visa holders in New Zealand has declined to 14,000. It signals a potential slowing down in the influx of overseas workers due to pandemic restrictions.

The decline has taken place due to a transfer of more than 200 thousand applicants switching from work visas to residence visas. But, surprisingly the number of student visa holders has shown a big increase to 12,000 in July.

Sending you a nice ask, do you have any hopes for the beginnings of the long path to peace between Israelis and Palestinians for after the war ends? I'd love to hear what you think.

I do have hopes!

What would need to happen realistically is for Netanyahu to be not re-elected and for Hamas to be removed as the government of Gaza. The reason I say Hamas needs to be removed is because they don't hold elections and haven't since the early 2000's so it's not like they can be removed through an election.

A new government to replace Hamas should 100% be democratically elected though by those in Gaza.

It would be good if we could get one government for both the West Bank and Gaza but that could take a few years.

A peace treaty would also need to be signed, and depending on what stage relations are at when it is signed, a few other countries might need to hop onto it as like enforcers. Eg, if it is not upheld, x y z countries will take action against the country which violated the treaty.

The treaty should have stuff such as obviously a permanent ceasefire, new laws to prevent anti Palestinian and anti jew/israeli discrimination and hate crimes.

After peace and normalization is achieved, I think having a border similar to those in EU countries or like NZ and Australia has would be a bonus. So you don't need a visa to travel between them or work in a country you aren't a citizen or resident of.

Thats just what I think should happen, obviously I don't live in Israel or in Palestine so I don't have the most 100% accurate grasp of what is achievable or should happen, but that's just my thoughts.

Hi friend! I’m wondering about the process you took to be able to stay in New Zealand because it’s been a dream of mine to move there but it seems really daunting 😭 thank you in advance!

Kia ora e hoa!

Oof, my story is a long and complicated one for sure. Moving countries (no matter where you're heading) is a HUGE choice and no matter how much you prepare, there will always be a learning curve. For me, however, I didn't prepare at all. Not really. That being said, NZ does have A LOT of hoops to jump through and they're REALLY particular about who gets visas (even more so since the pandemic).

But here's my story:

2015: I had visited NZ for a handful of days in 2015 and then shortly after that trip, I happened to meet someone through tumblr who was a kiwi. We started a long-distance relationship from there.

Now, I need to note that I was homeless at that point of my life. I was living in my car, so everything I owned fit inside a compact Chevy Aveo. And when my car got repossessed and I said 'nothing left for me in [readacted]' and packed up those few belongings into two plastic tubs, bought a one way ticket, and flew to Aotearoa (The actual time between losing my car, to considering moving, to pouring all of my savings into airfare, to actually just up and leaving to start a new life across the world, was only about 2 weeks btw. Like I said, ZERO preperation.)

Early 2016: I first came on a 3-month visitor visa. Then I was able to get a partnership visa for a year. When that relationship ended, I had already decided Aotearoa was my forever home and I was ready to do anything necessary to stay here long-term.

2017: I managed another 1-year visa (working holiday visa).

Early 2018: Then by the time that one was ending, I was in a new relationship (with my current partner) but we hadn't been together long enough for them to sponsor me in a partnership visa.

Without any way to get another working visa, I was forced to plan a move to Australia for a year. I had sorted a working holiday visa there, had job prospects, and although I didn't want to leave NZ, I knew it was only a temporary stop over, because I would spend every moment in Aus trying to get back into NZ somehow.

Final days of my visa, 2018: I had already been thrown goodbye parties, I sold what little belongings I'd started to acquire in my two years here, I had my airfare and visa all ready for Aus -- but I was STILL desperately scouring the Immigration NZ website for ANY legal loopholes, any way I could just stay a while longer. And in doing so, I found exactly that. In absolute secret (didn't tell a single soul from fear of getting my hopes up) -- I applied for a nine-month visitor visa.

And to my utter shock -- it worked. I was able to stay.

2018/19: In those 9 months, I ended up moving in with Doom Them and by the time I was nearing the end of my visitor visa, we were able to apply for a partnership visa together. I was granted another one-year visa.

2019: We had to repeat the process. Submitting over 500 pages of documentation that our relationship was genuine, and even then, they still asked for more. Luckily, they eventually granted me another one year visa.

Early 2020: After living in NZ continuously for four years, you are eligible to apply for residency. Because I had a NZ partner, that definitely helped, because at the start of Covid INZ stopped accepting any other type of residency visa applications. I was SO lucky that we applied WAY early this time, because estimated wait times for visa processing were like 10-16 MONTHS

August 2020: I officially became a NZ Resident!!! Which meant I no longer had to apply for Visas. I was granted the privilege of living in NZ for the rest of my life without ever having to apply for visas that may not be granted. The annual stress and uncertainty we faced each time we applied was no more!

August 2022: After being a NZ Resident for 2 years, you can then apply to be a NZ Permanent Resident. That means you can leave and come back to NZ without any issues. It's basically citizenship without the passport.

So that's where I'm at currently! And in August 2025 (5 years after residency is first granted) -- I will finally get to become a NZ CITIZEN!!!! I cannot wait for the day this country becomes my place of citizenship.

It is a LONG and tedious process that requires a TON of work and stress and money (god so much fucking moneeeeyyyyyy) -- but I wouldn't change it for the world.

Because even though I first moved here for a relationship that didn't work out -- I still wound up finding my forever home, my friends, my family, and most importantly, I did find my forever relationship.

for the new zealand one, the child thing they're referencing is a case last year where a 12 year old autistic child of two immigrants, who not only live in new zealand with accepted visas, but are permanent residents. they have spent years, and tens of thousands of dollars trying to challenge this, and even government ministers have requested a re-examination of the case, but immigration refuses. the government refuses to change these rules, saying it's not discriminatory, because it's about health costs, not specific disabilities, but because there are so few written laws, it's completely up to the discretion of immigration, who don't have high knowledge of disabilities, whether they think someone will be an 'economic burden' or not.

in nz, for an immigrant to get a visa, they cannot cost the health system more than around $8,000nzd a year for the first 5 years, cannot access special needs childhood education (showing that they specifically target disabled children), and do not need special carers.

australia and a small couple other countries have similar rules. it's terrible. not only that, but in new zealand (and australia), if a child immigrant is accepted on visa, and within 5 years gets sick or a chronic condition, they can have their residency rejected and even visa not renewed/revoked for 'no longer meeting the eligibility of not placing undue burden on the health system'. and in australia, it's not just them, the entire family gets visa renewal rejection and will get kicked out of the country. in new zealand, it's 'just' the ill person or child, splitting the family in two if the others wish to remain.

i understand (but don't agree with) denying visas to initial applications (so, they're not here yet) if they think someone will cost the health system a huge amount of money, but 1. the definition of 'potential for undue cost' is so vague that, as this says, people with non costing/low care disabilities get rejected, and disabled people with careers get rejected, 2. disabled children and families of disabled children should NEVER be rejected POST visa approval, 3. anyone who lives here, regardless of residency or citizenship status, should have open access to healthcare and aid without fearing that accessing it will get them on a flight back to their home country.

This is exactly what I mean when I say the society even more “progressive” societies are inherently ableist

New Zealand is a dynamic country that welcomes immigrants from all over the world. The country's economy is expansive, with diverse industries that offer numerous employment opportunities to prospective immigrants. Presently, the New Zealand government has a list of skills designated as 'in demand,' known as the Green List. Jobs in the Green List are available to immigrants, and a secure path can lead to a resident visa, opening doors to long-term residency in New Zealand.

Crime-riddled alleyway with ‘hide point’ to be shut permanently

Stuff. Stuff. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350431687/crime-riddled-alleyway-hide-point-be-shut-permanently

In this article there has been discussions by the Hastings District Council to permanently close an alleyway that has been used for criminal activities. The alleyway, located between Oliphant Place and Bledisloe Street, has been the site of various incidents, including damage to properties, trespassing, theft, and burglary. The alleyway provided a "hide point" for criminals to evade the police, and it was also poorly lit and covered in graffiti and litter. While a nearby resident disagreed with the closure, stating that the alleyway was safe and used by pedestrians, the council decided to close the alleyway to address the ongoing issues. I thought that this could relate to my project as although the alley way i'm shooting which is close to my house not closed down, but is still open to the public *
