Immigration Act – 1899

industries in India lead many Indians to immigrate to foreign countries. New Zealand introduces an Immigration Act in 1899.

A New Way Forward
Beginning in 1974, the criteria for entry to New Zealand gradually changed from race or
nationality to merits and skills. The 1987 Immigration Act finally eliminated both the
discrimination against some races and nationalities, and the preferences for others.
But the numbers of migrants and the pre-requisites they had to meet remained tightly
regulated.
