64589 (2024). 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 16th September 2024?

Hon Erica Stanford: Corrected reply: I am advised that during the week beginning 16 September 2024, one individual 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 a visa while onshore.
