Excuse me, if my wife is PR and is going to give birth in New Zealand, do I need to prepare any documents? How do family members apply for visa escort?

If your wife is a publicist. You can go back to New Zealand to have a baby by buying a plane ticket directly, and you don't need proof. Husbands and parents can apply for tourist visas. Husband can also apply for PR on the grounds of family reunion. Children can apply for citizenship and passport with New Zealand local birth certificate. If the child has applied for New Zealand status, he/she needs to apply for a visa at the local embassy or consulate of China in Reims to visit relatives in China. General tourist visas can be granted for three to six months. After the child comes back, he should apply to the local public security organ in China for an extension. Parents have lived in China for a long time, and their children don't need to go back to New Zealand for visas. Just apply to the local public security organ for an extension. Usually it is signed for one year. If children stay in China to study, they will be treated as international students. Let me give you a detailed explanation of applying for benefits. You can ask me if you don't understand.

How to apply for welfare for my baby?

For couples who have just become parents or are about to become parents, raising a baby has become their top priority at present. So what welfare policies does the New Zealand government provide for the parents of these newborns?

The first thing to mention is the parent tax credit. The parents' tax refund is aimed at the parents of newborns, and it is an aid money issued by the government to help parents meet the needs of newborns, but the premise of applying for tax refund is that you must be a New Zealand resident and a permanent resident. Secondly, within 8 weeks after the baby is born, neither parent has the following welfare income (applying for the following welfare before the baby is born does not affect the parents' tax refund):

A. income test benefits for work and income.

B New Zealand pension or veterans pension.

C. Student allowance

D. Weekly accident compensation (accident compensation)

The Inland Revenue Department will pay the tax refund according to your total household income within 8 weeks or 56 days after the baby is born. The amount is calculated according to parents' income, the number of babies to be taken care of, the age of the babies and the number of newborn babies in a year. Generally speaking, each baby can get a tax refund of up to $ 150 per week, and can continue to get a total of ***8 weeks; If parents apply within three months after the baby is born, they can choose to let the tax bureau pay the tax refund every two weeks, or they can choose to pay it once after the end of the tax year (if the tax year is March 3 1 every year, the tax refund will probably be paid to parents in July). However, if the parents of the baby apply three months after the baby is born, they can only choose to pay the tax refund in one lump sum after the end of the tax year.

To apply for parents' tax refund, you must first prepare the baby's birth certificate, and then help the baby apply for a tax number. At the same time, you need to fill in another form FS 1 "Registration of Working Family Tax Credit" for registration, or you can fill in the form online and send it to the tax bureau.

If you can't apply for parental tax refund, you can choose another kind of welfare-paid parental leave. This is a welfare provided by the New Zealand government for the mothers of these newborns and the parents of adopted children (the adopted children are under 6 years old). In order to raise and take care of your baby, one of your parents may have to stop your current job. If you are a self-employed person or an employee of a company, you have worked for the same employer for more than half a year, with an average working time of more than 65,438+00 hours per week and an average pre-tax income of up to $3,965,438 +0.28 per week, then the weekly paid amount of parental leave is equivalent to the weekly income during the working period. If you are self-employed and work at least 65,438+00 hours a week during the six months or 65,438+02 months before the baby is born, but you suffer losses or your income is lower than the minimum wage in New Zealand, then you can only get a pre-tax subsidy of $65,438+065,438+02.5 per week.

Here I would like to remind you that the Inland Revenue Department stipulates that tax refund and paid parental leave cannot be applied at the same time. As a parent, you must make a decision. Once a decision is made, it cannot be changed. Of course, the premise of applying for paid parental leave is the same as that of applying for parental tax refund. You need to notify your employer three months in advance and attach a doctor's certificate. Once the employer thinks that the materials you provide are complete, it will inform you whether to approve them within three weeks. Once approved, you can directly call the tax bureau to apply or fill in the IR880 form to apply. As a self-employed parent, once you decide to apply for paid parental leave, you must apply to the tax bureau before returning to work, and prepare your tax number, baby birth certificate or proof of expected adoption time and your bank account number, then fill out the IR888 form and send it to the tax bureau.

In some cases, parents can only apply for one of them. For example, Miss Sun, who is 24 years old, already has a 2-year-old daughter and has not received child support. Miss Sun has worked in a company for 16 months. Two weeks ago, Miss Sun gave birth to another baby, and now she takes care of him at home. Miss Sun's current partner is a student, and she has received a student allowance. In this case, Miss Sun can only apply for paid parental leave, but can't apply for tax refund from her parents.

Compared with most parents, their paid parental leave allowance is higher than their parents' tax refund, but if you have the following circumstances, you need to contact the tax bureau, and they will help you choose the benefits that are more suitable for you according to your situation:

When you left your job to take care of the baby, your annual income before tax was less than $20,346.

You want to have or adopt three or more children.

Do you intend to take less than 14 weeks of parental leave?

Many times, as a parent, you may not be sure what kind of benefits are really suitable for you and how much benefits you can get. We suggest that you call the tax bureau directly for consultation, and they will help you choose the most suitable benefits according to your situation. If necessary, you can ask the tax bureau to send you all the forms you need to fill out, which is more convenient and you don't have to go online to find them yourself.

What benefits can I enjoy when I give birth in New Zealand?

New immigrants are often worried about giving birth in New Zealand and unable to communicate with doctors. In addition, they don't know the medical environment and facilities there, and the related expenses. Parents are also worried that no one will take care of their children and they will not be able to eat China's unique nourishing food.

But the truth is, after you get pregnant, all medical care about pregnancy is free, including seeing a family doctor. You can also hire a China midwife for free. She will follow you from pregnancy to postpartum check-up. Without language barriers, midwives will give you a lot of information. During the delivery period, it is free from hospitalization to diet. After delivery, the hospital will send some milk powder and diapers, and then you can receive 47NZ$ of children's milk money from the tax bureau every week. The physical examination of postpartum children is also free. At first, the midwife was responsible, and then the national free child care institution was responsible for examining the child's body. It is also free to go to the family doctor for vaccination. It is also free for children under 6 to see a family doctor and buy medicine.

In short, everything related to having children is free. Don't worry. At present, there are many midwives from Hong Kong and mainland immigrants. There are their advertisements in the newspaper. You can invite them. All expenses are borne by the government. You don't need to worry. If you have a low income, the government will also subsidize you 900- 1200NZ$.

Therefore, in New Zealand, Chinese rarely have only 1 child at home, because abortion is not allowed after pregnancy unless it is certified by experts such as gynecology and psychiatry.
