A huge step forward for Ukrainians looking to settle permanently in New Zealand.
The Government's announced a new residence pathway for Special Ukraine Visa holders who arrive here before March 15, next year.
The Visa first opened for 12 months from March 2022, and was then extended to March 2024.
World Vision Head of Advocacy and Justice Rebekah Armstrong says this pathway gives Ukrainians fleeing the ongoing war extra hope and certainty.
"Knowing now that they can actually stay in New Zealand, put down roots and actually build their futures is huge- it's really good news".
