Erica Stanford: A new visa for parents of citizens - Politics Central

The Government has announced a new Parent Boost Visa that will allow the parents of New Zealand citizens multi entry access for up to five years. 

The sponsor has to earn 1.5 times the median wage, or the parent must bring $16,000 - along with other insurance and health requirements. 

The Government says they are trying to make the country more attractive for skilled workers, without straining public services.
