Parents Residence Visa EOI selection for those who meet income criteria
A KS made this Official Information request to Kris Faafoi
The request was partially successful.
From: A KS
Dear Kris Faafoi,
This is my second EOI in relation to the Parents residency EOI. This visa is stalled since 2016 and had 2 reviews. The first review ordered by previous national Govt in 2016 took 2 years and completed in 2018 and review under Labour govt took one year and completed in 2019. In 2020 the EOI selection was postponed while SMC selection has been resumed but no update on parent EOI.
Is the government planning to start the parent residency visa EOI selection for those who meet the income criteria as defined in the 2019 review. If yes , for those who meet the current income criteria , when will the category open for EOI selection?
Yours faithfully,
A KS
