3549 (2026). Hon Phil Twyford to the Minister of Immigration: What was the total cost, if any, to Immigration NZ of processing visa applications during the week of 26th January 2026?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised that Immigration NZ do not track the costs on a weekly basis and can only provide a weekly average for each month once full costs are available. The weekly average cost to Immigration NZ of processing visa applications for the month of January 2026 will be available on 12 February 2026.
