New Zealand has recently updated its immigration policies to facilitate residency for halal butchers, acknowledging their critical role in supporting the country's flourishing halal export sector. As a halal butcher working in New Zealand, you now stand a better chance at securing a long-term future in the country.
This development came into effect in March 2023, when halal butchers were officially listed under the Green List (Tier 2). This listing is part of a strategic move to accelerate the residency process for jobs that are pivotal to New Zealand's economic growth. Given that New Zealand is a leading exporter of halal meat, reaching out to a global market across 130 countries, the expertise of halal butchers is in high demand, though it's a niche skill set that is not widely available locally. The criteria for residency application under the Green List (Tier 2) include a minimum tenure of two years in a halal butchery role within New Zealand as well as earnings on par with or exceeding the median national wage. The applicant’s employment must also be under a business that has received accreditation from Immigration NZ, full-time, ongoing or with a minimum 12-month contract. Thers is also an age limit of below 56 years and Proof of proficiency in English, must be met and submitted as well as health and character checks. For those who align with these requirements, New Zealand is opening its doors wider, presenting a valuable opportunity for halal butchers to become permanent residents and enjoy the benefits of living in a country that values their skill and contribution to the economy.
