Warnings that price hikes for international visas could chill the workforce.

The Government is increasing costs across almost all categories from October to bring in an extra $536 million over four years.

The cost for a skilled residence visa will rise by over $2000, and work visas are more than doubling in price.

New Zealand Association for Migration and Investment chair Arunima Dhingra told Heather du Plessis-Allan this will put some people off.

She says students will come no matter what because of the benefits, but migrants like tilers and carpenters with no residency pathways won't even bother.
