30870 (2025). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Minister of Immigration: What reports, briefings, emails, memos, aides-memoire, notes or written advice, if any, has the Minister and/or her Office received stating that migrants are "putting additional strain on public services", which has been used to justify the income requirements of the new Parent Boost Visa; listed by title and date received?
Hon Erica Stanford: The income requirements for the Parent Boost visa are not in place to limit the additional strain on public services, rather they are in place primarily to help ensure applicants have access to sufficient financial support during their stay in New Zealand.
