Hi John Luke,

 

Thank you for your email requesting information.

 

INZ gathers statistics on how many people come and go from New Zealand,
the reason for their visits and the visa types they entered in on. This
information is publically available on our INZ website at:
[1]https://www.immigration.govt.nz/about-us...

 

On our website you can also use the Migration data explorer which is a
tool that allows you to drill into the immigration data, this would
capture information on the number of people who arrived and departed NZ
monthly, by visa on arrival and nationality.

 

Please take a look at this information available on our website and
confirm by 11 August if this information online is what you are looking
for, or if you wish to clarify, narrow or re-scope your request if you
feel the data you require is not available online.

 

If you have any questions please let me know.

 

 

Kind Regards,
