- How tightly should immigration be managed in light of the economic and social impacts of COVID-19?
- How should work visa policy settings be balanced to ensure that NZers are first in line for jobs, but NZ doesn’t miss out in the global competition for in-demand skills?
- What factors should the government consider when setting charges for visas to enter NZ? MBIE policy community: We are looking for policy advisors to join two of Immigration teams - Border and Funding Policy and Skills and Residence Policy, part of the Employment, Skills and Immigration Policy Branch. Together with the Workplace, Relations and Safety Policy Branch we are the government’s lead policy advisors on labour market issues. We focus on issues relating to skills, employment, labour market planning and immigration. As lead advisors to the Minister of Immigration, the Immigration Policy team is charged with providing advice on the end-to-end immigration process, from selection through to settlement, including border security and international obligations.
We work closely with a range of other internal and external stakeholders including other policy teams and service delivery arms within MBIE (mainly Immigration New Zealand), other Government agencies with interest in immigration and labour markets, and with unions and business organisations.
The team provides advice on border policy, immigration system funding and financial sustainability, and on immigration legislation (including a review of the Immigration Act 2009). The team also supports Branch work on developing an immigration system performance framework.
Immigration Policy - Skills and Residence looking at the settings for both temporary and residence visas covering work, partnership/family, visitor, and student policies. This is important work in a dynamic context that has a real effect on people’s lives and the economy.

- Reviewing the skilled migrant category for residence in line with recent Rebalance changes.
- Reviewing family and partnership immigration settings to see if they remain fit-for-purpose in a changing social context (for example, what constitutes a genuine relationship today and how do you evidence this?) Tēnei tūranga - About our Policy Advisors:
They use their strong communication skills to engage and work collaboratively with various groups. They bring a base knowledge of public policy as well as an understanding of the machinery of government, Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles, to better position New Zealand for the future.
