further growth in tourism from China

power04

A fast-track visa scheme which makes it easier for frequent flying, high-value Chinese to visit New Zealand has been extended to Air New Zealand.

Immigration New Zealand (INZ) said it had reached an agreement with the Air New Zealand's Gold Elite, Gold and Silver card holders from China applying to visit New Zealand will now not have to produce evidence of employment or of having sufficient funds to support themselves.

Chinese applicants will still need to meet health and good character requirements, as well as evidence of onward travell. Nigel Bickle, head of INZ, said the agreement would encourage more high-value Chinese tourists to visit New Zealand and stay here for longer.

Air New Zealand chief executive Christopher Luxon said the agreement, which comes into effect from May 1, would lead to further growth in tourism. INZ has said it will endeavour to process all visitor visa applications under this scheme within five working days.

纽航的高端中国人会员从五月一号起不需要提供工作证明和资金证明就可以申请入境签证，将会更加方便快捷，只需要最多五天，但是仍然需要提供健康证明，无犯罪证明和来访动机证明如果被要求的话。

to sum it up, there will be more rich chinese people coming to New zealand...
