12月19日（周四）新西兰移民局公布：自2020年2月24日起，技术移民和技能工作签证的薪资门槛将上调。
立思辰留学云消息，移民局表示今后每年11月将进行薪资调整，本次的调整是从明年2月24日开始实行，是根据新西兰收入中位数（时薪25.5纽币）制定的，这个数字同比目前的时薪25纽币上涨了2%。按照一周工作40个小时计算，这相当于年薪要达到53040纽币。
让我们先了解下ANZSCO
*ANZSCO是新西兰和澳大利亚共用的一个职业分类标准，类似于职业大典。这个标准不是新西兰移民局定的，是由新西兰统计局、澳大利亚统计局、澳大利亚劳工部颁布的关于新西兰和澳大利亚的行业以及雇佣的标准。
*AZNSCO中一共有998个独立职位，新西兰移民局的665个技能职位，就是从ANZSCO目录中挑选出。
*这是一本目前能判定职位等级（1-5级，其中1级最高），决定技术工签和技术移民的职业大典。

Annual review of remuneration thresholds
薪酬门槛年度审查
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.
我们每年更新一次技术移民类别（SMC）居民签证和技能工作签证的薪资门槛。新的薪资门槛是根据新西兰的工资中位数25.50纽币（比去年上升2％）而定的，相当于每周工作40小时，年薪53,040纽币。注意：薪资门槛的改变不会影响已获批签证的期限或条件。
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.
回顾2019，我们通常会在每年的11月更新薪资门槛。今年，我们将在稍后对其进行更新，以便员工和雇主有更多时间为这些变化做准备。变化将于2020年2月24日生效。以后我们仍会在11月份更新薪资门槛变化，但会尽早沟通变更事宜。

Time in Force
生效时间
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日之前申请技能工作签证如果您正准备或已经申请了基本技能工作签证，而我们在2020年2月24日之前收到了您的申请，我们将采用旧的薪资要求评估您的签证申请。
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日以后申请基本技能工作签证在2020年2月24日或之后收到的新申请，我们会根据新的薪资要求进行评估。即使是在2020年2月24日之前签署了就业协议，新的薪资要求仍将适用。
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.
如果您要申请其他签证，这意味着下一个签证的条件或期限可能会有所不同。 例如，一名厨师当前时薪为21.50纽币，因为该职业是ANZSCO 2级，并且时薪高于现阶段要求的21.25纽币，目前被认为是中级技能。 如果他们在2020年2月24日之后再次申请签证，他们将被视为低技能工种，除非他们的工资增加到新的薪资门槛21.68纽币以上。
截止到今年9月份的数据，过去一年的新西兰通胀系数是1.5%，因此移民局做出2%的薪资调整是合情理的，符合新西兰技术移民要求和经济发展现状。因此，该调整并不应该被认为是针对居民签证或工作签证的收紧，而是计划内的正常调整。在新西兰的大部分公司在正常的升职加薪调整以外，雇主通常每年会根据通胀指数为员工涨薪，因此对于计划移民和正在办理移民的朋友来说2%的调整并不会造成显著的障碍。
关于如何评判高等、中等还是低等技能工作，可以参照下面表格，将更加直观。
