Steps by New Zealand companies to lay off employees
Sylvie wrote the post • 0 comments • 422 views • 2021-01-03 06:47
In a difficult business environment, the survival of the company is a worry, in order to avoid the point of bankruptcy, many companies will choose to "redundancy" this way, to streamline the workforce, improve staff efficiency, reduce wage costs. In a country like New Zealand, where the protection of employees' rights and interests is too great, the word layoff is not something that employers say casually, it needs to go through a very rigorous process before it can be reasonably legal and allow the company to move forward lightly.
Redundancy, the English language, usually goes through the process of "restructuring" the restructure before a New Zealand company can move forward with the layoff process. Even a "reorganization" is not that simple, it needs to be "processed correctly", otherwise employers can easily be sued by employees to the Employment Tribunal.
In New Zealand, restructuring is usually "parallel" to downsizing, and employers must follow the steps below to carry out the employee restructuring lay-off process.
Establish a document to restructure the workforce, write down specific steps on paper, and then communicate with employees, while employers need to be clear in the process of "talking" to employees, to clarify the significance of the reorganization, the company's restructured team structure, how the reorganization will affect the existing structure, can retain or will be abolished positions, or can be transferred to the position what
Notify potential layoffs, whether in writing or e-mail, invite them to meet for an interview; of course, there are a number of employees who are not doing well in the company, and when the personnel department or the boss "invites a talk", the employee needs time to prepare, and if the employee has a problem with his or her position, the employee can bring a legal counsel (support person) with him or her during the interview; Silicon Valley's morning e-mail noon meeting to inform layoffs doesn't work in New Zealand.
Meet with employees to inform employees at meetings about how they are prepared to restructure the company as an employer, as well as potential employees' lay-offs and transfers, and to inform them of the specific timing process;
Collect feedback, remember that it must be collected in writing. Employees will be laid off, often in a bad way, so employees sometimes go to great pains to give back to the employer, whether it's hard to answer or not, and the employer must first document the feedback because it's part of the standard process (and it's important)
Employers carefully consider employee feedback, such as that employees will threaten to "sue the employer", or that employees find it difficult to find their next job because of "insufficient notice time", or that employees say" can go, and that the employer will compensate me for a certain amount of time for my salary
Determine the reorganization or lay-off, if the first five steps are completed and you still can't find a new position for the laid-off employee, then I'm sorry, the company is not a charity, the employees who should go must go. Employers are required to give written notice of the employee who has been laid off or transferred, how the employer has considered it, and how to respond to feedback submitted by the employee, and must give the employee a certain amount of time to follow up on the layoff, which can be one-on-one or one-on-one.
Meet face-to-face with the laid-off employee to inform the company that the employment contract will be terminated, as well as the steps you asked to leave and the point at each step. If an employee suggests that a "support person" is required to attend (usually a lawyer or union lawyer, the employee takes a last-ditch effort), the employer must agree. During the meeting, confirm all steps with the employee twice and answer any questions the employee may have about the termination of employment.
The final step is to print out the exit checklist, get the employee to sign it, and have the employee return the company's property (e.g. mail, computer login, door card, company car, company computer, company phone, etc.)
Finally remind the vast number of employers, do not think that "the operating environment is not good" can be arbitrary lay off employees Oh, do not think that the job/redundancy is so easy, especially the English is not good enough to be well-versed in the law of Chinese employers, in New Zealand to eat a lot of employees' losses, any compensation is tens of thousands of New Zealand dollars, if there must be layoffs, and employees may be "hedgehogs", remember that employers also want to find a third party labor relations lawyer to do a good job. view all

Can New Zealand police take your DNA samples?
Sylvie wrote the post • 0 comments • 406 views • 2021-01-02 22:51
Western citizens' demands for privacy are high, and powerful state agencies, such as the New Zealand police, are often "cautious" in their dealings with citizens. In New Zealand, do you know when the police can ask you for a DNA sample? And what is the method of sampling? This article tells you some of the rules that New Zealand police must follow when taking DNA samples from others.
If the New Zealand Police arrest you for a criminal offence that could result in imprisonment, or intend to charge you with an item in the criminal offence, the New Zealand Police may request a DNA sample; If you are a suspect, but they do not have enough evidence to arrest you or prosecute you, the New Zealand police can only ask you to voluntarily provide samples, and if you refuse, the police can only go to a judge and obtain permission from the judge (warrant) to obtain samples from you. A court order that allows access to your DNA is called a "forced order."
Typically, when investigating less serious crimes, such as ordinary assault or intentional injury, the police will not be able to obtain a DNA sample from you without your consent;
In two cases, the police can legally ask you to provide a DNA sample:
In the first case, you are being arrested or about to be prosecuted, and if the police arrest you for a criminal offence that could result in imprisonment, or if they intend to prosecute you, they can legally ask you for a DNA sample. In such cases, a court order is not required.
If you are arrested or asked by the police for a DNA sample for reasons that could result in imprisonment, and you refuse, you could be fined up to NZ$2,000 or sentenced to three months in prison.
In the second case, the police have obtained permission from the court; if the police suspect that you have committed a crime that could result in imprisonment and you refuse to provide them with a DNA sample after they ask you to do so, the police can go to the District Court and ask the judge to order you to give a sample.
How long can new Zealand police keep my DNA samples?
If you are requested by the New Zealand Police to provide a DNA sample and the police have taken it, your DNA sample will be stored in Databank, a New Zealand Police DNA database, during the criminal investigation and until the court trial is completed. If the charges against you are not established, the database will immediately delete your DNA data at the request of the court, but if the charges are established and the offence is not serious, the New Zealand police and courts may permanently record your DNA information.

New Zealand roof self-checking and simple maintenance
Sylvie wrote the post • 0 comments • 416 views • 2021-01-02 22:38
Starting at the end of August each year, New Zealand's everything recovers and gradually enters its early spring season. At the turn of the season, it is still necessary to have a roof check on your house, which is usually recommended twice a year in New Zealand, in spring and autumn. Need to pay someone professional to help you check? Of course, if you're not bad money, feel free, but if you're not afraid of heights, you have adequate protection and enough confidence and hands-on ability to check on your own roof. After all, inspection is not "repair", quickly follow the following to carry out an "overview" of the roof, repair small problems, find large problems and ask professionals to repair.
If your roof is sloped (most common in New Zealand)
Check for any dark green, dark brown, brown stains that mean algae and fungi take root on the roof
Clean drains (cedes) to prevent falling leaves and silt from clogging
The tile-top houses, especially the "old tiles", may be blown by a winter wind and rain, and there will be small pieces of debris that need to be cleared
If you can see the discharge layer under the tiles, or if there is a large rust in the tin tiles, then you need to find someone to repair them and avoid leaking roofs
If your roof is flat (less common)
Check the flat top for cracks, New Zealand's flat top house, are more headaches
If there is air conditioning or exhaust equipment on the roof, check that the firmware secured to the roof is secure and rusty
If cracks, cracks, or waterproof layers are directly exposed, repair them immediately
Check the damage caused by the roof wind
Storms can wreak havoc on roofs, and unfortunately New Zealand often has high winds, heavy rain and storms during the winter months. In early spring, check the roof, if the tiles are lost or curled and cracked, you need to replace them immediately, and if the water leaks through the tiles, it will be more expensive to repair in the future.
Check on a piece-by-piece basis
Any blisters or spongy spots found during a roof inspection may mean that a professional roof repairman is required to repair or replace them.
Depending on the roof material, carry out a key inspection
Tin top
Focus on checking the iron connection and low-lying places whether there is water storage, rust, and even loopholes, timely repair or replacement of the entire iron roof is very important, remember in the rust-proof paint weak place, clean up, brush a special tin-top paint.
Tile top (concrete tile)
Shinwara need not worry too much, when the tile age of more than 15 years, the tile material has actually begun to appear aging and "fragile" phenomenon when the corners of the tile can easily fall off, while the tile may also be disconnected from the middle. Remember to check it out.
In addition, the top of the tile is easier to grow moss, when necessary sprayed with potions to kill moss. (Check out previous encyclopedic articles on how to kill moss from roofs)
Asphalt tile
Asphalt tile roofs are relatively new, not yet very much maintenance. The copper compounds produced by the copper-wire components added to them also kill algae and fungi that try to take root on the roof, so this tile is more worry-tinging. Asphalt tile in 15 to 20 years later is relatively easy to "foam", this time need to find professional roofers to carry out repairs.
Drains (sky ditches)
No matter what material of the roof, the trench must be cleaned up, otherwise, the accumulation of things inside all year round will become a bird's paradise and plant growth of the warmbed, once the trench damage, hundreds or even thousands of pieces to repair is not to run away, and the trench damage after the rain will form a "rain curtain", compared to the "unpleasant". view all

Shinwara need not worry too much, when the tile age of more than 15 years, the tile material has actually begun to appear aging and "fragile" phenomenon when the corners of the tile can easily fall off, while the tile may also be disconnected from the middle. Remember to check it out.
In addition, the top of the tile is easier to grow moss, when necessary sprayed with potions to kill moss. (Check out previous encyclopedic articles on how to kill moss from roofs)
Asphalt tile
Asphalt tile roofs are relatively new, not yet very much maintenance. The copper compounds produced by the copper-wire components added to them also kill algae and fungi that try to take root on the roof, so this tile is more worry-tinging. Asphalt tile in 15 to 20 years later is relatively easy to "foam", this time need to find professional roofers to carry out repairs.
Drains (sky ditches)
No matter what material of the roof, the trench must be cleaned up, otherwise, the accumulation of things inside all year round will become a bird's paradise and plant growth of the warmbed, once the trench damage, hundreds or even thousands of pieces to repair is not to run away, and the trench damage after the rain will form a "rain curtain", compared to the "unpleasant".
How is the GST on employee benefits in New Zealand reported?
Sylvie wrote the post • 0 comments • 435 views • 2021-01-02 22:34
Free meals such as staff parking spaces and lunch evenings are rare in New Zealand, not only because New Zealand businesses are generally small and do not need to "feed" a canteen, but also because New Zealand has strict and high taxes on such "collateral benefits", known as FBT-Fringe Benefit Tax.
However, still can not avoid some rich and atmospheric companies, for employees to "profit" a variety of benefits, to retain high-quality and high-capacity personnel for their own enterprise services. So, if there is an "employee benefit tax", can a company "come back" some of the GST, or use the GST to offset a portion of the tax payable?
If a company's property is used for private use, then it is up to the situation to adjust the GST contribution. For example, the company bought a yacht, which is leased to make a profit for the company 60 percent of the time, and the company owner himself took his family fishing vacation. Then, 60% of the yacht price and operating expenses part can apply to the Tax Office for a GST refund, while the remaining 40% can not get GST back.
"If a business had "benefits" such as small low-interest loans to employees, overseas travel and life insurance, which were themselves GST exempt items, there would be no GST claim this time around.
If you're Sole Trader, Partner, Trust Member, or Associate Person, then most of the time "personal is using the company", this time you need to make additional special adjustments in the FBT project to match the GST Claim that needs to be made.
In general, FBT is a more sensitive and complex tax component, and the mixing of GST and "public-private" issues often requires more care. And IRD also likes to "care" these "public property private use" of the problem, in the above tax chase is very tight, if you do not understand the content of this aspect, either try not to appear FBT problems, or ask a professional accountant to help you with tax returns.
Employee benefit tax, known in English as Fringe Benefit Tax, or FBT, is a tax calculated by the New Zealand Revenue Department on the basis of the amount of benefits paid to employees by the Company. Benefits are enjoyed by employees, but welfare tax employees are not considered at all, and businesses and employers are responsible for calculating and filing them.
New Zealand's FBT was imposed mainly to expand tax programs to prevent businesses from avoiding tax by using welfare payments. Once upon a time, new Zealand did not tax employee benefits if they were provided in a non-cash manner, but employers and employees quickly formed a tacit understanding that employees did not require employers to provide the best wages, but required employers to pay themselves the necessary living expenses in various forms and issue them with "corporate benefits", which amounted to a significant loss of tax revenue for the Government. Based on this, the New Zealand government introduced the FBT system to curb "hidden tax evasion".
Many Chinese are registered in New Zealand small companies, these companies are the standard "one person's company", Owner is both the boss and employees, then if such a company buys a car, and the company owner personally does not have a private car, the New Zealand Internal Revenue Service IRD will be the company car as a "welfare" to calculate and charge a fairly high "welfare tax";
How high is new Zealand's welfare tax FBT? The answer is that it's very high, and usually if you have a professional accountant to account for your company, accountants may use professional time to help you lower the tax rate a little; Welfare tax avoidance" occurs. view all

What if the swimming pool in the yard of my home is judged to be ineligible?

The home has a sparkling swimming pool, and the property itself is a mansion, or a step closer to a "luxury house." Imagine not having to go to a shoulder-to-shoulder public swimming pool or a dangerous seaside wild swim in the summer, but simply having a cool home and getting into the water.
But the cost of maintaining a swimming pool is not low, and every fixed time (usually three years), City Council has to carry out a safety check of the pool, after all, as long as there is water, there may be some danger.
For pool inspection, the owner (the owner of the pool, usually the owner of the property) is required to pay, the city council's safety inspection staff will be the pool equipment, pool building standards and the pool protection measures (fence) to make a decision, if qualified, if not qualified, was issued pool / poo barriers non-compliant (Notice Fix to) notice?
When notified by Notice to Fix that the owner needs to suspend the use of the pool, the most common method of City Council is to inform you in the "correction notice" that the pool must be dried and that it must be kept out of the vicinity of the pool (fence locking, etc.). Then, after a security repair (e.g. high fences, reinforced fences, pool steps, etc.) in accordance with City Council's corrective advice, ask City Council inspectors to do re-inspection again until it is passed.
If the owner ignores Notice to Fix and continues to use the swimming pool, it could result in a fine of up to NZ$5,000, with potential criminal penalties.
Of course, some Chinese owners are buying a house with a swimming pool, but they don't really need this "luxury mansion model" of the blue-rippled pool, then if you receive notice of the request for rectification, you can apply directly with Council to remove the pool (remove pool from register), and find a licensed construction engineer, reasonable removal application and building planning, including how to safely and sturdy "landfill" the pool method and so on.
When City Council agrees to the request to remove the pool and waits for the construction to be completed, the city council will go to the site of the property to check the removal of the pool, and after qualifying, the city council will have removed the "pool" project, and there will be no "pool inspection" notice in the future. However, checking the process of pool removal still has to pay. view all

New Zealand travel, student and work visas are rejected, how do I apply for review?
Sylvie wrote the post • 0 comments • 430 views • 2021-01-02 22:27
If an applicant's application for a temporary visa such as a New Zealand student visa, work visa or tourist visa is refused by Immigration New Zealand, it may be for a variety of reasons, perhaps because the applicant has materials that are not qualified, where it is not perfect, perhaps because the applicant's conditions are not up to standard, or if the immigration officer's a more subjective determination of "rejection" (the immigration officer has this power); Ask the Immigration Department to re-apply your application.
First, you must meet the following criteria to be able to request a review of your temporary visa:
At the time of the request for review, the applicant was in New Zealand
At the time of the request for review, the applicant has a valid New Zealand visa (even a transitional visa)
A review must be filed within fourtean days of rejection by the Immigration Department (not a working day, it is a natural two weeks, and remember that the weekend is not open)
Although Immigration New Zealand has a well-established website platform to accept all types of visas online, there is no place for the review of rejected temporary visas to be completed or submitted online.
What applicants need to do is:
A formal, English-language written e-mail is written and signed by a letter requesting an immigration review
The letter includes information about your application being rejected and any additional evidence you can submit
Your passport
Credit card information (for payment, currently NZ$220 once), including number, expiration date, cardholder name, cardholder signature
Send evidence, materials, IDs and review requirements to immigration (do not use flat mail, New Zealand is currently very inefficient and not delivered in a timely manner)
Upon receipt of the letter requesting a review, as well as all your additional material, the Immigration Department will conduct a "retrial" and the Immigration Department will ensure that the immigration officer who has reiterated is not the one who refused your first instance.
If the immigration officer in the second instance believes that the rejection at first instance is wrong, the immigration officer will approve your visa directly on the application you submitted at the first instance, but if the "review" immigration officer still determines that the applicant is not eligible for the visa, the original sentence will still be "maintained". In addition, the review, only one chance, if the review is rejected again, the Immigration Department will not accept your "second review" application.
Retrials are usually faster, but if your visa expires while waiting for review, that is, it expires and the Immigration Department will not automatically extend it for you; But as long as they have a record of your failed review in their system, then as long as you leave within a reasonable time, the Immigration Department will not add a "black record" to you, if you want to come to New Zealand, it is not a big deal to apply for a while. view all

What is salmonella contamination in New Zealand food recalls?
Sylvie wrote the post • 0 comments • 417 views • 2021-01-02 22:25
Every year New Zealand's major food, and fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, meat processing products, there will be several food bacterial contamination problems, encountered this situation, manufacturers or retail channels (such as supermarkets) will be in the public media for the first time to announce the recall news to the community, consumers only need to take the product has been purchased, whether the product is intact or has been eaten part, as long as there is "packaging" and receipts in the supermarket to buy food to get a refund.
There are three most common types of bacterial contamination of food: Listeria( Listeria), E. Coli (E. coli), and Salmonella (salmonella) to be described in this article.
Salmonella infection (salmonella) is a common bacterial disease with high concentrations to a certain extent that can affect human intestinal health; Usually, people infected with salmonella have no symptoms. However, people with low immunity or specific diseases develop symptoms such as diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps, and dehydration within 8 to 72 hours of eating food contaminated with salmonella. Most of them recover within a few days without special treatment (commonly known as dirty things are cleaned up).

There are three most common types of bacterial contamination of food: Listeria( Listeria), E. Coli (E. coli), and Salmonella (salmonella) to be described in this article.
Salmonella infection (salmonella) is a common bacterial disease with high concentrations to a certain extent that can affect human intestinal health; Usually, people infected with salmonella have no symptoms. However, people with low immunity or specific diseases develop symptoms such as diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps, and dehydration within 8 to 72 hours of eating food contaminated with salmonella. Most of them recover within a few days without special treatment (commonly known as dirty things are cleaned up).

How New Zealand's caretaker government works

In the run-up to New Zealand's general election, it was necessary to popularize some common knowledge of the continuation of, or alternating, regime change in democracies. Western-style democracies have a good chance of rotating power, and if it is "re-elected", then the ruling party's government will naturally be "even- and not a transfer of power; before the election, either the opposition party came to power, or the results of the vote can not be divided in a short period of time, then in the transition period (the transition of work, or do not know what the future ruling party), there must always be a government to continue to exercise basic duties, this is the "caretaker government" caretaker government. The caretaker government is usually sustained by the previous "old government", with no changes to the main posts, and the "caretaker" model of government is limited to maintaining the temporary normal functioning of the New Zealand government, including dealing with the day-to-day affairs of the country in accordance with the Constitution and legal provisions, as well as speaking out for the upcoming general elections. Once a new government is formed, the mission of the caretaker cabinet ends.
That's why governments that take office before New Zealand's general election often delay making big decisions, new policies or decisions with long-term implications. Of course, there are emergencies (such as foreign elections, or natural disasters that have not happened in a millennium), or the idea of "digging holes" for the next government, as well as the fact that there are some strange and big policies ahead of the election.
The caretaker government, also known as the transitional government, or "the caretaker cabinet" or the "transitional cabinet".
The "current" Government would operate under the caretaker convention prior to the general elections, a situation that continued until the new Government was sworn in. After the elections, the current Minister will continue to perform his existing duties until a new Minister is appointed or reappointed. Ministers who are not elected to Parliament may continue to serve as caretaker ministers, but must leave within 28 days of the date of the vote.
There are two main scenarios for caretaker government:
1. It is not clear who will form the next government
The day-to-day operations of the Government and the day-to-day management of the State sector and other institutions continue as usual, with decision-making and the identification of specific policies usually made prior to the start of the caretaker period.
If possible, delay decisions on major issues, new or existing policy changes, and issues with long-term implications. If it is not possible to postpone, you should seek a short-term solution. If a short-term solution remains unecontiable, a decision should be taken in consultation with the other parties, mainly the opposition parties.
2. It has been made clear which party will form the new government, but the successor party has not yet taken office
The current Government will continue to serve as a minister in a caretaker manner until the minister is formally appointed. The outgoing Government should not take any new policy measures and must respond to any proposals for major constitutional, economic or other issues of the incoming New Government without deliberate delay. view all

What about overstaying in New Zealand?
Sylvie wrote the post • 0 comments • 444 views • 2021-01-02 22:21
If New Zealand's visa expires and the visa holder remains in New Zealand, there will be an "expected stay", commonly known as "black". There are a number of reasons why a visa may be overstated, such as illness, accident, system failure, a global outbreak, or a personal subjective reason for wanting to stay in New Zealand." Unlike the United States, New Zealand has immigration police and great powers; New Zealand has no practice of actively arresting black immigrants, and according to government data, there are only about 10,000 "black" immigrants in New Zealand, not too many. We do not say "black is not black" reason, to see if there is really overdue detention, how to do?
If your visa has expired, it means that you are now entering the country illegally (which is referred to in immigration law as having "illegal status" or "illegal" entry). Once your status is illegal, you are usually not entitled to a new visa and you may have to leave New Zealand. However, New Zealand's immigration laws and immigration protection courts do offer some options for overdue:
Under section 61 of the Immigration Act, you can apply for a visa as a special case
You can appeal to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal on humanitarian grounds
Apply for a visa under section 61 of the New Zealand Immigration Act
If your visa has expired and you are now entering New Zealand illegally, one option is to apply for a visa under the special circumstances of section 61 of the Immigration Act. Usually this is a last-case scenario; it is mainly used in cases where you have tried all other means to obtain a visa without success. Use section 61, provided that you are in fact in good condition to stay in New Zealand, but only because of some very special circumstances "delayed" the application.
In these cases, Immigration New Zealand has "absolute discretion", which means there are few restrictions on the way they can be made, and you will not have the right to appeal if the Immigration Department refuses to consider your particular circumstances. Legally, Immigration New Zealand doesn't even have to consider your application... In practice, though, they will consider all applications at least to some extent.
The Immigration Act allows the Migration Board to grant all types of visas under section 61. Upon obtaining a visa under this section, you have the same immigration status as any other person who has obtained that particular type of visa.
Under section 61 of the Immigration Act, immigration New Zealand will focus on:
Your immigration history - for example, whether you have entered New Zealand illegally before
Your current situation - including why you need to stay in New Zealand, how long you have been in the country illegally, why you do not have a current visa, the efforts made to obtain a visa and whether you are in an illegal state is beyond your control
Your physical health and character, and even your personality
In addition, Immigration New Zealand will take into account:
Is it possible to enter New Zealand
Have you built a strong family relationship here?
Whether there is a security risk to forcibly deport or remain in the territory
Applicants will have a more robust case if:
You can provide Immigration New Zealand with details of your current situation and why you applied for a visa in exceptional circumstances, and
There is strong evidence that you contributed to New Zealand and
You have not attempted to stay illegally in New Zealand for a long time
To obtain a Section 61 visa, you don't have to show exceptional or humanitarian circumstances, but your situation usually needs to be different;
Applications on humanitarian grounds
Although immigration authorities can legally deport you to New Zealand if you are in New Zealand illegally, you can appeal on humanitarian grounds. The appeal is resolved by the Immigration and Protection Tribunal, a similar court body independent of Immigration New Zealand.
If Immigration New Zealand decides to deport you, you have six weeks (42 days) to appeal. Please note that these 42 days start when your identity becomes illegal (for example, the date your visa expires). However, if Immigration New Zealand has already rejected your visa application once, these 42 days are counted from the day the Immigration Department rejects you, even if the applicant's existing visa expired before Immigration New Zealand rejected you (e.g., the visa expired on 1 February, your application to the Immigration Department for a visa change or condition change was denied, and the Immigration Department gave "no approval" on 1 March, with 42 days to appeal from 1 March). view all

Is it reasonable for small and medium-sized businesses in New Zealand to charge credit card surcharges?
Elisa wrote the post • 0 comments • 405 views • 2020-12-29 03:19
As the outbreak has severely affected the operation of small and medium-sized retail enterprises in New Zealand, more and more enterprises in both open source and thringing have made a heavy impact, looking forward to surviving the cold winter. Recently, the station director received several readers' e-mail inquiries, and the station director also found that some merchants who did not charge credit card surcharges, have started to charge additional fees for customers who swipe credit cards;
According to the New Zealand Consumer Council and the relevant laws, as long as the merchant has an obligation to inform in advance, and clearly state the amount of fees, whether it is to swipe a bank card, or swipe a credit card, or use Chinese commonly used Alipay WeChat UnionPay to pay, merchants charge surcharge behavior is reasonable.
In general, using a credit card to swipe a credit card on a credit card machine, the additional rate for small and medium-sized merchants is reasonable between 2.0% and 3.0%. When using credit cards online, credit card surcharges are more likely to be between 3.5% and 4.0% due to the higher transaction risk involved and the various payment gateway fees involved.
In fact, merchants are not willing to pass this money on to consumers, but small and medium-sized merchants in the payment channel access are at a disadvantage, can not get "excellent" prices;
As for New Zealand retail giants such as Countdown, Pak'n Save, New World, Bunnings Warehouse, because they are too bargaining power in bank credit card payments, their own credit card rates are far lower than between small and medium-sized businesses;
Merchants charge consumer credit card surcharges in several forms:
Add the handling fee manually to your bill and enter the amount that contains the handling fee on the swipe machine (more commonly)
Charge the original amount of the bill before asking the customer to swipe the second card as a percentage to charge a surcharge (less commonly)
Some of the newer swipe machines will automatically determine whether the customer is using a bank card or a credit card, and if it is a credit card, the amount entered by the cashier will automatically be superimposed on the surcharge (requires hardware support) (the swipe channel will have an additional monthly fee of about 10 yuan)
Can merchants refuse to allow consumers to use credit cards? Yes, merchants have the right to refuse. It's not illegal for many Chinese restaurants to have a red X on their Credit button.
It is illegal for merchants to charge a surcharge on a credit card without telling the customer what the surcharge is, or failing to tell the exact percentage of the surcharge. If they encounter a merchant who does not inform the merchant of the handling fee, the consumer may go to the small arbitration court to sue the merchant for a refund and compensate for the loss. view all

Merchants charge consumer credit card surcharges in several forms:
Add the handling fee manually to your bill and enter the amount that contains the handling fee on the swipe machine (more commonly)
Charge the original amount of the bill before asking the customer to swipe the second card as a percentage to charge a surcharge (less commonly)
Some of the newer swipe machines will automatically determine whether the customer is using a bank card or a credit card, and if it is a credit card, the amount entered by the cashier will automatically be superimposed on the surcharge (requires hardware support) (the swipe channel will have an additional monthly fee of about 10 yuan)
Can merchants refuse to allow consumers to use credit cards? Yes, merchants have the right to refuse. It's not illegal for many Chinese restaurants to have a red X on their Credit button.
It is illegal for merchants to charge a surcharge on a credit card without telling the customer what the surcharge is, or failing to tell the exact percentage of the surcharge. If they encounter a merchant who does not inform the merchant of the handling fee, the consumer may go to the small arbitration court to sue the merchant for a refund and compensate for the loss. view all
As the outbreak has severely affected the operation of small and medium-sized retail enterprises in New Zealand, more and more enterprises in both open source and thringing have made a heavy impact, looking forward to surviving the cold winter. Recently, the station director received several readers' e-mail inquiries, and the station director also found that some merchants who did not charge credit card surcharges, have started to charge additional fees for customers who swipe credit cards;
According to the New Zealand Consumer Council and the relevant laws, as long as the merchant has an obligation to inform in advance, and clearly state the amount of fees, whether it is to swipe a bank card, or swipe a credit card, or use Chinese commonly used Alipay WeChat UnionPay to pay, merchants charge surcharge behavior is reasonable.
In general, using a credit card to swipe a credit card on a credit card machine, the additional rate for small and medium-sized merchants is reasonable between 2.0% and 3.0%. When using credit cards online, credit card surcharges are more likely to be between 3.5% and 4.0% due to the higher transaction risk involved and the various payment gateway fees involved.

How do I move my new Zealand pet to Australia?
Elisa wrote the post • 0 comments • 440 views • 2020-12-29 03:17
If you've changed your New Zealand passport and are living in Australia for work, lifestyle or other reasons, it's actually easier. New Zealand and Australia holders can move internationally without barriers to each other, and have easy access to settle, work and life. So, what kind of formalities do you need to go with your family from New Zealand to Australia with your stargazers or stargazers? Do I need immigration segregation?
The answer is, as long as the money is enough, a cat and a dog from New Zealand to Australia is not a problem; No, New Zealand does not have rabies, and Australia does, so warm-blooded pets from New Zealand to Australia, do not need to go through quarantine, it can be said that the shore can be full of running away.
Be aware that A cat and dog are not likely to be able to fly with you across the Tasman Sea; you need to find a compliant, registered pet transport company to arrange a trip to the trans-tasman Sea.
You can find registered pet carriers on New Zealand's MPI website and ask them for a price; quotes are always free, different charges are mainly for the level of service, for example, quality services include professionals personally visiting your home to take your pet away in a pet cage and arranging transport to a new address in Australia; and a lower-priced service is likely to see you take your pet to the airport in New Zealand, meet your pet in person at the airport in Australia, and have to do your own veterinary check-up paperwork.
There are a few details to note:
Some dog breeds are not accepted in Australia (ferocious breeds)
Small milk dogs under 8 weeks are not allowed to be imported into Australia
Pets (mainly star people) need to be injected with chips already in New Zealand, you need to provide Council Registration / Vet Records to the Australian side, and if you don't, you need to spend hundreds of knives to go to the vet to do a blood test on your pet
Cages for the transport of pets are subject to strict requirements and must be suitable for the size and weight of the pet and can be purchased or rented from a registered transporter
Find a veterinarian in New Zealand to issue Export Certification for your pet
The veterinarian will also do a deworming job for your pet within a few days of departure view all

6 things you need to know about the bill of the New Zealand Parliament
Elisa wrote the post • 0 comments • 439 views • 2020-12-28 22:50
New Zealand's parliament is usually noisy like a kindergarten, politicians of all parties playing a political game in Parliament for the benefit of their own party, or for the sake of brushing out their own sense of being, or simply for the sake of opposition. As a democracy, one of the greatest roles of Parliament is to discuss bills and to make them law that most people can agree to, setting the framework for the future functioning of the State and Government.
So, let's put it simply on the Bill.
The Bill, also known as the Law (Grass) And Regulations (Bills), is a form in which the law is submitted to Parliament for consideration prior to its adoption and becomes part of the law upon its third reading; In most political systems, the bill must also be signed by the executive head or head of state before it can enter into force. If it does not agree, it may be vetoed by the veto, but if some countries or regions pass it by an overwhelming majority, the bill will automatically enter into force.
The word Bill, the simplest explanation in English, is proposed law, and Parliament is the only place where a bill can be passed into law (Only Parliament pass a bill).
When passed, the bill becomes law and is binding on the government, while the bill is a parliamentary debate on certain actions that require the government to take, and is not binding. Even if the parliament passes the bill, the government will not have to follow through.
To find out what bills are currently under discussion in New Zealand's Parliament, visit the New Zealand Parliament's government website https://www.parliament.nz/en/p ... laws/
The word Bill can refer to neither the "bill" nor the person's English name (Bill), while bill usually refers to "bill" in parliamentary articles and news. view all

Tax differences between hiring employees or contractors for small businesses in New Zealand
Elisa wrote the post • 0 comments • 394 views • 2020-12-28 22:46
Employee, or independent contractor? This is a problem that small and micro-enterprises in New Zealand often encounter when they are short of man- and medium-sized enterprises. Unlike China and the United States, which have well-developed human resources and equal employment, employers are not subject to all sorts of strange legal provisions; So, from a tax perspective, what's the difference between an employee and a contractor for a business?
Employee or independent contractor?
Why do business owners have to be clear about the differences between employees or contractors?
Taxpayers' obligations vary according to their employment status, and in New Zealand natural persons serve the enterprise in two categories: employee and independent contractor, or contractor.
What are the different obligations for employees and contractors for the business?
1) Employee employee
Payroll tax PAYE is deducted by the employer and paid to the Inland Revenue Department on a periodic rate
Employees cannot register for GST

Independent contractors who do not take any annual sick leave and are subject to insurance and ACC Levy themselves will be paid significantly more on an hourly basis than their employees, whether full-time or part-time.

Employee, or independent contractor? This is a problem that small and micro-enterprises in New Zealand often encounter when they are short of man- and medium-sized enterprises. Unlike China and the United States, which have well-developed human resources and equal employment, employers are not subject to all sorts of strange legal provisions; So, from a tax perspective, what's the difference between an employee and a contractor for a business?

New Zealand police have zero tolerance for speeding throughout the year
Elisa wrote the post • 0 comments • 425 views • 2020-12-28 22:29
New Zealand police confirmed to New Zealand media today that in the future, New Zealand Road Patrol police will no longer tolerate "minor speeding", that is, if the road speed limit is 100 km/h, if driving to 101 km, the police may issue a ticket to the driver.
Drivers and road police in New Zealand are generally understood not to be fined for speeding up to 10km/h above the road speed limit. For example, a 50 km/h residential road to 60 km/h, or an 80 km/h country road to 90 km/h, or a 100 km/h highway to 110 km/h, will not be chased by the police, or be photographed fine speeding behavior.
Over the past few years, New Zealand police have introduced "zero tolerance for road speeding during holidays" on public holidays with high road traffic, with little success, neither reducing road accident rates nor reducing road accident mortality. Later, after being repeatedly punched in the face, the New Zealand police stopped implementing the road "zero tolerance for speeding" system.
But starting today, New Zealand police will have "zero tolerance for speeding throughout the year" and 10KM/H tolerance, which can no longer be used as a reason for speeding. So if you're slightly speeding in the future, you'll be issued a ticket by the New Zealand Police and you'll have nothing to say.
If a driver drives past the speed limit on the road, New Zealand police issue a speeding ticket to the owner, known by the English name SpeedIng Notice or directly as SpeedIng Ticket. However, the Humane Enforcement of the New Zealand Police is also well known around the world, and usually, if the driver's speeding does not exceed a certain limit, the police uncles will "open and close their eyes". So, what is this tolerance?
It must be emphasized that any speeding behavior is incorrect, the speed limit signs on the road are not used to "difficult" drivers, but according to the road conditions and traffic flow and other circumstances combined to arrive at the most reasonable speed, comply with the speed limit, protect themselves, but also respect the safety of other people's lives and property.
In general, New Zealand police officers have a psychological tolerance for speeding drivers, which is 10 km/h. For example, if you are driving on a residential road with a speed limit of 50 km/h, then a speed limit of no more than 60 km/h is OK, and if you are driving on a highway with a speed limit of 100 km/h, a speed limit of no more than 110 km/h is "qualified".
However, it should be emphasized that in some cases, the tolerance of police officers and road speed measuring equipment is not as high as it is at 4 km/h, for example, within 250 metres of schools, in order to protect the safety of minors and children, if you challenge the psychological bottom line of the police with tolerance of speeding 10 km/h, then the loser is certainly you. For example, during long holidays, when traffic is concentrated, the police will tighten tolerance to less than 4km/h, or even "zero tolerance" Zero Tolerance.
Also, New Zealand police officers have their own moods, and when you're in a bad mood, you drive 51km/h on the 50km speed limit and you can be stopped and fined as well. Keep in mind that 10km/h of psychological tolerance is not written in New Zealand's road traffic regulations, it is just a "convention" between the public and police officers, according to the law, speeding is speeding, there is no "tolerance" said, even if the mood of the JCSS "difficult", I'm sorry, who let you speed, self-confessed bad luck.
What is the penalty for speeding in New Zealand? Please read this article. Also, if you're speeding and being chased by a police car with a police light on the back, hurry up and find a well-parked car that won't hinder traffic, light up your flashing lights, drop your windows, and put your hands on the steering wheel and wait for the police officers in the police car behind you.

Base Voters, the "fundamental" in New Zealand's general election, 5 New Zealand parties you need to know
Sylvie wrote the post • 0 comments • 437 views • 2020-12-26 22:31
In democratic politics, the term "base/base voters" refers to a group of voters who are almost always simply supporting and voting for a party or candidate of one party. In an election, regardless of whether there are other party candidates to challenge, and in the election campaign to express more specific political views, the basic voters will remain unshakable and will not support candidates from other political parties who come to challenge or compete. Basic voters vote only for the party they have long supported or the candidate for that party.
If the ballot market is likened to competition between commercial markets, a political party is like a company with its own hardcore customers (basic plates). In an election, there are bound to be other challengers or competitors (other political candidates) who come to strengthen your customers and eat up your market in order to win the election. To avoid other competitors to strengthen your market, a party must first defend its "fundamentals" so that it does not waver. These basic voters have a high degree of loyalty to the party and are less likely to support other rivals who come to the contest. After a solid "fundamental market", you will be able to attack other markets, expand market share, and increase the number of customers (votes/supporters) to win the election.
In New Zealand, for example, the basic plates of the parties:
Labour Basics - Welfare recipients, most college students and singles, unemployed, Maori, islanders
The BASICS - full-time workers, self-employed people, property-owners
Greens - Environmentalists and far-left democrats
Priorities - mainly the elderly and conservatives
Action Party - self-employed and small business owners view all

New Zealand Employee Pension Tax ESCT. The annual income (NZD) tax rate.
Sylvie wrote the post • 0 comments • 374 views • 2020-12-26 22:26
Many employers in New Zealand pay pensions to their employees, whether they are large enterprises, government agencies, international companies, Super, or KiwiSaver, which is most commonly paid by small and medium-sized enterprises for employees, and they are employers who bring "benefits" other than wages; Since it's welfare, a high-tax country like New Zealand won't give up the chance to tax any money that flows. Therefore, for the employer to provide employees with pensions, there will be "employee pension tax" this thing appears.
Employee pension tax, employees hear don't be afraid, this is the employer to pay for you, ESCT, full name Employer Superannuation Contribution Tax. However, the wool comes out of sheep, and the ESCT paid by the employer is actually a "withholding" for the Inland Revenue Department, that is, just as the employee's salary to pay PAYE is operated by the employer, the employee's annual pension, such as NZ$10,000, is certainly less than that amount, why? That's the employer subtracting ESCT for you.
ESCT is a tax rate that fluctuates and depends on the employee's income and how much time he has worked for the employer, mainly on the employee's annual income, and the New Zealand Taxation Office IRD provides threshold guidelines.
The annual income (NZD) tax rate for employees
$0-16,800 10.5%
$16,801 – $57,600 17.5%
$57,601 – $84,000 30%
$84,001 or more 33%
How is this "threshold" calculated? Let's give you an example.
Employee A, who earns NZ$40,000 a year, and employers also give Employee A 2% annual KiwiSaver support, or NZ$800. "Thus, the employee's ESCT is calculated at 40,000 plus 800 plus 40,800, then the tax rate is 17.50%." Of the $800 that the employer will have to pay for the employee, a 17.5% deduction will be required, i.e. the amount of KiwiSaver that the employee actually receives from the employer is 800 x (1-17.5%). view all

How should discrimination be addressed in New Zealand?
Sylvie wrote the post • 0 comments • 345 views • 2020-12-26 22:23
"Discrimination" means that you are treated worse or more unfairly than others in the same or similar circumstances. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention New Zealand is also a river and lake full of immigrants, discrimination occurs all the time, everywhere, but according to the section on anti-discrimination contained in the New Zealand Human Rights Act (1993), not all discrimination is illegal;
However, if the cause of discrimination is due to your race, country of origin, religious belief, gender, sexual orientation, etc., then there is no doubt that this is illegal.
If you believe you are discriminated against, you can file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission of New Zealand. If you are unable to resolve the issue with the help of the Committee, you may file a complaint with the Human Rights Review Tribunal in New Zealand. New Zealand's Human Rights Review Tribunal, like the courts, can make orders to the other party (the infringer) to correct an injustice or incident that has occurred to you. In some cases, the court may require the infringer who discriminates against you to compensate you in the form of money for your civil damages.
In addition to the illegality of discrimination in many cases (e.g. race, immigration, colour, sex, sexual orientation, religion, etc.) mentioned above, New Zealand's anti-discrimination law specifically prohibits sexual and racial harassment and "incitement to racial disharmony".
As a Chinese who has lived in New Zealand for a long time and is more or less likely to encounter things that make you feel unfairly treated, you must find out if your experience involves "discrimination" before you formally file a complaint or lawsuit against the infringer. If you think you've been treated unfairly, there are a few key questions you need to answer to determine if what the other person is doing is illegal:
1. Why are they doing this?
Do they do this because of what is explicitly covered by anti-discrimination laws such as your country of origin, color, sex, religion, etc.?
2. When and where did their discrimination take place?
When did discrimination occur and where did it occur? For example, would you like to apply for an apartment in downtown Auckland and be told that "foreigners are not allowed to rent"?
3. What's the result?
Are you disadvantaged or treated unfairly because of what happened? For example, because you are Chinese, the landlord rented the house to someone who offered it at a reasonable price because "because you are Chinese".
4. Are you mistaken for being discriminated against because of special exceptions?
Are you being treated unfairly for special reasons? For example, if the landlord may also be living in the apartment, you may be rejected for some reason (not race, country of origin, etc.).
====
After all four points, you can first file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission if you can still conclude that you have been subjected to a situation described as "discriminated" as expressly stated in the New Zealand Human Rights Act.
Direct or indirect discrimination is not allowed (illegal).
Is discrimination usually "naked"? No, in New Zealand, because you're a woman or a fat person, you earn less than a man or a well-sized person doing the same job, which is less common. In most cases, discrimination is indirect. For example, persons with disabilities need to use wheelchairs to get to work, but there are no elevators in buildings that prevent persons with disabilities from going upstairs, which is indirect discrimination against persons with disabilities.
In another example, you're unemployed and the bank doesn't give you a credit card (it's not discrimination because you don't have the ability to pay back). However, because you don't have a credit card, the power company refuses to accept you as their customer, which is indirect discrimination (discrimination against the unemployed). view all

New Zealand's rules on street art, begging and sleeping
Annabelle wrote the post • 0 comments • 425 views • 2020-12-23 06:01
Everyone in New Zealand has the right to move freely, in other words, you have the right to go anywhere you want and live where you want to live. Unless you are in a particular situation, such as "imprisonment" and "potential criminal offences", the New Zealand Government has good reason to restrict the right to "free movement".
Although New Zealand is not "federal", regulations established by city councils (regional councils) in different parts of New Zealand may affect an individual's right to do certain things in public places. For example, begging, street art and sleeping on the street may be restricted in certain areas and under specific parliamentary regulations. In other words, the so-called "restrictions" can only be expulsion or good-said advice, respect for the individual's right to freedom of movement is very important, otherwise it may violate the law (the law is bigger than the rules and regulations of local councils);
Begging on the streets of New Zealand
In most public places in New Zealand, it is legal to beg for food or ask for money unless there is a clear prohibition; Generally speaking, beggars simply sit quietly on the sidewalk without prejudice to the position of others.
However, if the beggars are on a high road, they can be considered "minor offences" under New Zealand's Improvised Policing Act if they do not follow the advice of the police. It would constitute a minor criminal offence if beggars continued to turn a deaf ear after warnings from police officers, unreasonably interfering with passers-by and encroaching on normal passage space. The police can arrest beggars for this and take them to court. Convictions in court can result in fines of up to NZ$1,000.
Here's information on begging rules in some of New Zealand's major cities:
The Oakland City Council enacted the Public Safety and Obstruction Ordinance (2013), which prohibits begging in a manner that "may pose a threat to or disturb anyone."
Hamilton City Council has the Public Places Safety Ordinance (2014), which prohibits "disgusting behaviour", which includes begging "for unreasonable interference with the peace, comfort or tranquillity of any reasonable person who may cause harassment, alarm or distress to any reasonable person"
The City of Napier's Public Places Regulations (2014) require permission from the council to beg or sell on public roads
Wellington City Council has made it clear that it will not introduce anti-begging regulations (allowing begging in any public place)
Christchurch City Council abandoned plans to introduce anti-begging legislation in 2015 (as in Wellington, it allows begging in any public place)
Taoranga City Council regulations prohibit begging within five metres of the entrance to "retail premises" such as shops, cafes, restaurants or bars. However, the regulation was repealed on 27 February 2020 and is no longer in force.
Selling art on the streets of New Zealand
Street performances are allowed in most parts of New Zealand (i.e. in public and as a means of "getting rich"), but there are usually some restrictions on this in different regional regulations. These rules are usually about how long you can stay in one place, when you can sell art in a day, and where you can sell art. In addition, some potentially dangerous selling to the public is banned, such as performing "Spitfire", which must be a fire hazard, or performing "Swallowing the Sword", which would cause Health and Safety Issue to do the same.
If artists need to "change their skills for money", make sure you don't put pressure on onlookers or hinder those watching them, let's not insult those who don't give money to see them in vain; New Zealanders are usually friendly, tolerant of street performers, and willing to give a few copper plates or even paper tickets as an incentive. In addition, "child labor" is not allowed, under the age of 14 artists, need to obtain permission from their parents (guardians) to legally "sell art", but onlookers may call the police to report.
Sleeping on the streets of New Zealand
New Zealand law gives people the right to sleep on streets, parks, covered passageways, etc. if homeless, and only a handful of district councils prohibit sleeping in specific places.
Nelson, for example, has a rule that no one can sleep on public trails or roads at night. In Hamilton, North Island, street sleepers are not allowed to use public footpaths or fall asleep in places that can "cause obstacles".

Wellington City Council has made it clear that it will not introduce anti-begging regulations (allowing begging in any public place)
Christchurch City Council abandoned plans to introduce anti-begging legislation in 2015 (as in Wellington, it allows begging in any public place)
Taoranga City Council regulations prohibit begging within five metres of the entrance to "retail premises" such as shops, cafes, restaurants or bars. However, the regulation was repealed on 27 February 2020 and is no longer in force.
Selling art on the streets of New Zealand
Street performances are allowed in most parts of New Zealand (i.e. in public and as a means of "getting rich"), but there are usually some restrictions on this in different regional regulations. These rules are usually about how long you can stay in one place, when you can sell art in a day, and where you can sell art. In addition, some potentially dangerous selling to the public is banned, such as performing "Spitfire", which must be a fire hazard, or performing "Swallowing the Sword", which would cause Health and Safety Issue to do the same.
If artists need to "change their skills for money", make sure you don't put pressure on onlookers or hinder those watching them, let's not insult those who don't give money to see them in vain; New Zealanders are usually friendly, tolerant of street performers, and willing to give a few copper plates or even paper tickets as an incentive. In addition, "child labor" is not allowed, under the age of 14 artists, need to obtain permission from their parents (guardians) to legally "sell art", but onlookers may call the police to report.
Sleeping on the streets of New Zealand
New Zealand law gives people the right to sleep on streets, parks, covered passageways, etc. if homeless, and only a handful of district councils prohibit sleeping in specific places.
Nelson, for example, has a rule that no one can sleep on public trails or roads at night. In Hamilton, North Island, street sleepers are not allowed to use public footpaths or fall asleep in places that can "cause obstacles".

Everyone in New Zealand has the right to move freely, in other words, you have the right to go anywhere you want and live where you want to live. Unless you are in a particular situation, such as "imprisonment" and "potential criminal offences", the New Zealand Government has good reason to restrict the right to "free movement".
Although New Zealand is not "federal", regulations established by city councils (regional councils) in different parts of New Zealand may affect an individual's right to do certain things in public places. For example, begging, street art and sleeping on the street may be restricted in certain areas and under specific parliamentary regulations. In other words, the so-called "restrictions" can only be expulsion or good-said advice, respect for the individual's right to freedom of movement is very important, otherwise it may violate the law (the law is bigger than the rules and regulations of local councils);
Begging on the streets of New Zealand
In most public places in New Zealand, it is legal to beg for food or ask for money unless there is a clear prohibition; Generally speaking, beggars simply sit quietly on the sidewalk without prejudice to the position of others.
However, if the beggars are on a high road, they can be considered "minor offences" under New Zealand's Improvised Policing Act if they do not follow the advice of the police. It would constitute a minor criminal offence if beggars continued to turn a deaf ear after warnings from police officers, unreasonably interfering with passers-by and encroaching on normal passage space. The police can arrest beggars for this and take them to court. Convictions in court can result in fines of up to NZ$1,000.
Here's information on begging rules in some of New Zealand's major cities:
The Oakland City Council enacted the Public Safety and Obstruction Ordinance (2013), which prohibits begging in a manner that "may pose a threat to or disturb anyone."
Hamilton City Council has the Public Places Safety Ordinance (2014), which prohibits "disgusting behaviour", which includes begging "for unreasonable interference with the peace, comfort or tranquillity of any reasonable person who may cause harassment, alarm or distress to any reasonable person"

Is there a charge for moving a New Zealand resident visa to a new passport?
Miah wrote the post • 0 comments • 378 views • 2020-12-23 00:21
Residents of New Zealand who do not change their nationality to New Zealand and continue to use their passport in their country of origin can apply for a visa transfer to Immigration New Zealand up to every 10 years, or if their passport needs to be updated due to accidental loss of damage. The English name for this procedure is transfering visa to a new passport.
Immigration New Zealand currently uses "e-visas", which means that the average non-New Zealand citizen does not have a previous "physical sticker" on their passport, but only in Immigration New Zealand's system, which retains passport information and biological information such as fingerprints and compares them at the time of entry and exit. The migration of e-visas is very convenient, only need to hand over the new passport and the old passport together to Immigration New Zealand, only a few working days, the Immigration Department will complete the migration of the new e-visa, the next time you enter and leave the country, the use of a new passport.
Once upon a time, the relocation of PR between old and new passports required a "fee" of nearly NZ$200, but at present, the implementation of e-visas has reduced costs, so immigration new Zealand will also "not make this money", free of charge for e-visas between the old and new passport migration needs.
So, there is also a batch of "old passports" beginning with the G-word, after replacing the new e-passport at the beginning of E, you need to apply for a visa transfer, which is equivalent to a "paper" transfer between eVisa and eVisa, so does this application to Immigration New Zealand charge?
The answer is still free, you also need to put the old passport with visa paper, and a new passport that needs to receive an e-visa, along with the New Zealand Immigration Department, and fill out Form 1023 (application for transfer or confirmation of a visa), do not need to fill in the payment information, mailed to the Immigration Department, in a few days, the Immigration Department will be "you can not see, but new passport with e-visa information", and your old passport, We'll send it back to you by post.
Of course, the Immigration Department still has the option of a "paper visa", even if all passports are e-passports, applicants can still ask for a "ceremony" PR sticker glued to a page of the passport, which is no problem, but not only will the processing time be extended, but you will also have to shell out 210 New Zealand dollars (2020 standard) to apply. view all

How can parent visas be approved more quickly under tighter immigration policies?
Miah wrote the post • 0 comments • 422 views • 2020-12-23 00:20
New Zealand's reunification immigration policy is tightening, children who have been granted New Zealand resident status, one of the single guaranteed parents, need to pay more than NZ$100,000 a year just "pass", and if the guaranteed parents, the annual income of more than NZ$160,000, a relatively small number of people to meet this standard, and even if approved parents from the beginning of the application to obtain RV will take at least four years, and the time to obtain PRV is "far away" (special policy).
Economic development has been a top priority for successive New Zealand governments, attracting high net worth individuals to New Zealand, and Immigration New Zealand is launching a "high threshold" immigration program whose main purpose is to "bring new immigrants to New Zealand!" "。 Among them, a parental retirement immigrant visa is a visa that allows high net worth parents looking to be reunited with their adult children to quickly obtain the right to settle in New Zealand, whose official English name is Parent Retirement Resident Visa.
A parent's retirement immigrant visa is not so much a "reunion immigrant" as an "investment immigrant".

While parental retired immigrants appear to be reunited with their adult children, they still need their parents to have strong financial strength to support them, so the way to deal with the "rich" New Zealand Immigration Service is to handle them quickly;
In a simple sentence, if there is a legitimate source of income can prove the investment of NZ$1 million, plus NZ$500,000 home fee, do not need EOI, do not need to test English, do not need the child's income certificate guarantee, only the child has the right of abode in New Zealand, can let the parents come over.

Applicants invest $1 million in compliance projects in New Zealand through banking channels for 4 years (buying a home does not count as an investment)
In addition to the $1 million investment, applicants will need to pay more than NZ$500,000 for their home
After the application has been approved in principle, the investment funds must be in place within 3 months, and the investment fund must be transferred from the bank channels and the source is legal
In addition to the above, there are some basic conditions for immigrating to New Zealand:
The applicant wishes to reside in New Zealand for a long time
Applicants are in good health and will not be burdened by new Zealand's public health system
The applicant has no criminal record of good character
Applicants are required to purchase health and travel insurance during their stay in New Zealand before obtaining a permanent residence visa

Upon approval, submit the material within the specified time, transfer the funds to New Zealand and start investing (usually within 3 months)
The Immigration Department accepts the required materials and formally begins processing them (usually 3-6 months)
Immigration approval to obtain the right of abode (note, not permanent residency)
Enter New Zealand, activate your visa, or choose to "sit in immigration supervision"
During the first two years of the four-year period, applicants can travel between their country of origin and New Zealand, and it is no problem where they live longer
For the second two years of four years of immigration supervision, the conditions for residence in New Zealand as set out by the Immigration Department must be met before a permanent return visa can be changed

Unlike the concept of "party state", the concept of "state" in western democratic society is greater than that of "party", and a fair democratic election is a necessary step to produce the next ruling government. Elections are overseen by "electoral commissions" that go beyond political parties, and there are electoral laws that govern the conduct of political parties involved and relevant stakeholders.
According to the electoral law, all general election-related advertisements, including street signs and leaflets, as well as advertisements on the Internet, advertisements in the APP and advertisements in newspapers, must be "released" within the time specified by the Electoral Commission, which defines the ruling period from 18 August to 16 October for the 2020 general election, so that all advertisements must disappear and expire before 23:59 p.m. on 16 October, which is considered illegal.
Saturday, October 17, is New Zealand's 2020 general election polling day.
