Kia ora Ray,

 

We are writing to you in regards to your Official Information Act (the
Act) request made on 14 February 2022.

Number of visa lodged, granted and refused in below categories from India
where the citizenship of applicant is also India.

 

1. Fee paying Student Visa

2. Visitor Visa (Holiday)  

3. Visitor Visa (Family)  

 

We interpret your request as asking for applications where the principal
applicant declared their current residential address as India?

 

Also, that 2. Visitor Visa (Holiday) is referring to Visitor Visa –
General and,

3. Visitor Visa (Family) refers to visitor visas for partners and
dependent children?
