有新西兰pr是华侨吗?
谢邀! 先摆观点,有PR=New Zealander永久居民的中国人等于新移民的中国人不等于华侨。因为取得PR并不意味着申请人必须放弃中国国籍加入新西兰国籍。同样,申请人在申请移民时若选择保留中国国籍,则在申请成功之后依然是中国公民;即使申请人在申请过程中放弃了中国国籍而取得了新西兰国籍,那他(她)也仅仅是获得了第二个国籍而已,与是否拥有PR无关。
那么什么是“pr”呢? New Zealand has two types of residence visas: general and permanent. The general type is split into five categories (A-E), with A being the highest category and E the lowest. You will usually need a job offer in order to apply for one of these visa categories, but there are different requirements depending on which category you want to apply for.
The permanent type of residency gives you access to nearly all jobs in New Zealand, with no requirement for a job offer before you arrive. You can bring your family members with you, and they will be able to go to school here and get public health care like all other residents of New Zealand. To become a permanent resident you will generally have to show that you meet certain criteria relating to age, health, character, skills and wealth. You may not necessarily need to have an offer of employment or prove that you have sufficient funds to support yourself. But there are other requirements according to which PR can be granted, such as your level of English, previous employment history etc. And there are also work options available if you’re planning to stay in NZ on a PR basis – see our article on how to work in NZ after you receive your PR.
Permanent residency means that you've been given the right to live permanently in New Zealand. You can move back and forth between Australia and New Zealand, or travel anywhere in the world while still holding this status. Your relatives who are dependent on you (for example, children)can apply for New Zealand citizenship if they wish to live here permanently.
In summary, “pr” does not mean “new zealand citizen”或者“chinese citizien”. It simply means you have permission to live in new zealand. Whether you choose to renew/extend your stay every year or apply for citizenship later depends on your individual circumstances. We hope this helps!
