Kia Ora

On 3 June 2021, you asked the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) for information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act). We are currently processing your request, however we would like to check under Section 12 of the Act, which provides that any person may make a request where they are:

* a New Zealand citizen; or
* 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 a place of business in New Zealand.

MBIE requires more information to establish your compliance with section 12. An original of any one of the following items is acceptable as a demonstration of your eligibility:

* A recent bill from the company who supplies your power, gas, water, phone or internet services * Council rates notice * A letter from the Electoral Office * Travel itinerary * Anything from a government agency that includes your name and address * Unexpired Rental or Tenancy Agreement.

A scanned copy of one of the above can be sent to INZOIAs @ mbie.govt.nz

Once MBIE receives this additional information from you, and is satisfied that the requirements of section 12 have been met, we will respond to your request. If you do not meet the eligibility criteria of section 12, MBIE will still consider your request. Please respond by 18 June 2021. If do not respond by 18 June 2021 your request will deemed to be withdrawn.

We also need to clarify Part 1 of your request. You asked:

"how many applicants like you described who are in or will in New Zealand are processed per day, per week, per 2-week, or per month?"

And referred to our response to DOIA 2021-2143. Can you confirm what you mean by "applicants like you described". Are you referring to all the applicants who submitted EOI or those that needed registrations? Or those that are earning 106800 per year? Can you advise which one you are after? Are you referring to onshore applicants? Or offshore?

Sincerely,

Margee Do
