5887 (2025). Hon Phil Twyford to the Minister of Immigration: What is the total amount, if any, of individuals who arrived into New Zealand on a Work To Residence Visa during the week of February 17th 2025?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised that during the week beginning 17 February 2025, a total of six individuals arrived in New Zealand on a Work to Residence Visa. First arrivals under the skilled residence Work to Residence pathway are likely to be low due to the requirement to have worked in New Zealand for 24 months and therefore most are granted visas while onshore.
