New Zealand will require English proficiency for mid-skilled workers and allow NZ$1 million in philanthropic gifts for investor visas starting June 1. The changes align hospitality and trade roles with existing standards while diversifying the NZ$5 million investor entry tier. Investors gain flexibility in capital allocation as the government seeks to integrate foreign labor more smoothly into the community.
