新西兰：移民局公布绿名单调整 17个职业明年3月退出工作转居留通道 特殊教育教师直通居留
新西兰移民局11月3日宣布，政府将在新技术移民类别（SMC）通道推出后调整绿名单：自2027年3月8日起，17个职业将退出绿名单第二级「工作转居留」签证通道，因为这些职业已被新的 SMC 通道覆盖；已开始积累合资格工作经验的人可按过渡安排继续把已积累时间计入现行24个月的工作转居留要求。相关人员也可改走 SMC 技工与技术人员等通道申请居留。
四个特殊教育教学职业将从「工作转居留」升至第一级「直通居留」：特殊需要教师、听障学生教师、视障学生教师与未分类特殊教育教师。合资格者届时可直接申请居留，无须先在新西兰完成两年合资格工作。移民局说，特殊教育教师是教授与其他教师相同课程的注册教师，此举使他们的居留通道与同类教学岗位对齐。
其他调整包括：无菌技术员相关安排变化，以及职业辅导员（Career Counsellor）从第一级直通居留名单中移除。移民局表示，绿名单预计在2027年再作检讨，相关网页将在变更生效临近时更新。
New Zealand: Immigration Announces Green List Changes, 17 Occupations Leave Work to Residence in March 2027 as Special Education Teachers Move to Straight to Residence
Immigration New Zealand announced on November 3 that the Government is making changes to the Green List following the introduction of new Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) pathways. From 8 March 2027, 17 occupations will move out of the Tier 2 Green List roles for the Work to Residence Visa because they are covered by the new SMC pathways. Transitional arrangements let people who have already started accumulating qualifying work experience keep counting it towards the existing 24-month Work to Residence requirement, and people in those occupations may instead qualify for residence through SMC pathways including the Trades and Technician pathway.
Four special education teaching occupations will move from the Work to Residence pathway to the Tier 1 Straight to Residence pathway: Special Needs Teacher, Teacher of the Hearing Impaired, Teacher of the Sight Impaired, and Special Education Teachers not elsewhere classified. Eligible people will be able to apply directly for residence without first completing two years of qualifying work in New Zealand. INZ said special education teachers are registered teachers who deliver the same curriculum as other teachers, and the move aligns their pathway with comparable teaching roles.
Other changes affect Sterilisation Technicians, and Career Counsellor will be removed from the Tier 1 Straight to Residence roles. INZ said the Green List is expected to be reviewed again in 2027, and relevant webpages will be updated closer to when the changes take effect.
