New Zealand allows citizens to sponsor Ukraine families
Wellington | New Zealand’s government said on Tuesday that it will introduce a new policy to enable about 4000 family members of Ukrainian-New Zealanders to move to the country in the short-term following Russia’s invasion.
Ukrainian-born New Zealand citizens and residents will be able to sponsor a Ukrainian family member and their immediate family, Immigration Minster Kris Faafoi said in a statement. Those accepted will be granted a two-year work visa and their children will be able to attend school.
