Dear Rose,

 

On 12 October 2020, you asked the Ministry of Business Innovation and
Employment (MBIE) for information under the Official Information Act 1982

• a permanent resident of New Zealand; or

• a person who is in New Zealand; or

• a body corporate which is incorporated in New Zealand; or

• a body corporate which is incorporated outside New Zealand but which has

MBIE requires more information to establish your compliance with section

Once MBIE receives this additional information from you, and is satisfied
that the requirements of section 12 have been met, we will acknowledge the

Dear Rose,

 

On  13 October 2020, we sought information that would establish your
entitlement to make requests for official information. On 14 October 2020,
you provided MBIE with information relating to your identity.

 

Our records show that you were granted a Resident Visa and you are
currently outside New Zealand.

 

Information relating to applying for a Permanent Resident Visa after being
granted a Resident Visa can be found here:
 [1]https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zeal...

 

As you do not meet any of the criteria in section 12 of the OIA, we do not
consider that you are legally entitled to make this request and
accordingly we are not obliged to respond.

 

Please be advised that your OIA request is now closed.

 

Kind regards,

Margaret Huang
