6229 (2026). Ricardo Menéndez March to the Minister of Immigration: How many workplace compliance visits, if any, were conducted by Immigration New Zealand, broken down by quarter, from 1 January 2016 to 26 February 2026?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised that between 13 February 2025 and 26 February 2026 there have been 211 workplace compliance visits conducted. Prior to 13 February 2025 information on workplace vs residential visits was not stored in a reportable format. I am further advised that it is not possible in the timeframe provided to obtain this information back to 2016 due to the substantial research and collation that would be required.
