India aur New Zealand ke naye trade pact ne kaam ko aasaan bana diya hai. 2026 mein work permit approvals **19.6%** badh gaye hain, jabki UK mein Indians ke liye visa options lagataar kam ho rahe hain.
Nayi deal se kya badla?
October 20 ko India aur New Zealand ke beech ek naya free trade framework shuru hua hai, jiska main goal dono countries ke beech talent ki mobility badhana hai. Is deal ke under, 5,000 Indian professionals ab ek saath New Zealand mein kaam kar sakenge. Saath hi, PhD graduates ke liye 4 saal ka post-study work permit aur 18 se 30 saal ke youth ke liye 'working holiday program' bhi introduce kiya gaya hai.
Numbers kya kehte hain?
January se August 2026 ke beech, New Zealand ne 24,513 work permits issue kiye. Ye 2025 ke 20,499 permits ke comparison mein 19.6% ka bada jump hai. Pichle do saalon mein approvals 30% tak gire the, toh ye recovery kafi imp hai. Ab New Zealand ke total work permits mein Indians ka share 18% ho gaya hai.
UK mein halat kharab
Ek taraf New Zealand khul raha hai, toh doosri taraf UK mein Indian workers ke liye doors band ho rahe hain. 2026 ke second quarter mein sirf 7,124 work visa approvals mile, jo 2025 ke mukable 16% kam hain. 2023 se ab tak UK mein Indian work visas mein 65% ki bhayankar giravat aayi hai.
Investors ke liye signal
Jo log Indian IT ya professional service firms mein invest karte hain, unhe ye update monitor karna chahiye. Bahut si companies apne global projects ke liye onsite talent par depend karti hain. New Zealand ka naya pathway shayad UK ki rukawaton ko thoda balance kar sake, par ye tabhi hoga jab companies in naye visa quotas ko fast use karein.
