NZ Residency Program Numbers

Adam Irish made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

The request was partially successful.

From: Adam Irish

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

I wish to request under the Official Information Act the target number of residency visas to be granted for the last 5 years each years and the target year year for the next 5 years. I also wish to request how this target is arrived at and calculated. Are the following factors are taken into consideration when developing the total:

Net population growth (Births minus Deaths along with net gain or lose of returning citizens) vs the total housing supply and number of new building consents being granted.

New Zealand is in the midst of housing crisis and years of inadequate planning on the demand side appears to have contributed to this. It would be reassuring to know that once this pandemic is over the housing crisis won't be further added to.

Yours faithfully,

Adam Irish
