28163 (2025). Ricardo Menéndez March to the Minister of Immigration: What is the average cost of residence-class, student, or work visas to the education system, and how does that compare to permanent residents?

Hon Erica Stanford: This information is not collected by MBIE at either an individual or aggregate level. For many visas applicants are required to meet a good or acceptable standard of health in order to ensure that people entering New Zealand on a temporary visa will not impose significant costs on the health and/or education systems or other public services.
