varied since July 2020 via Immigration New Zealand's "Office Referral"
process?

 

2) Of the above-identified resident visa holders, how many of these
concerned the visa holder’s “minimum period of time in New Zealand”
condition? Please note this includes varying the number of days required
to be in New Zealand as well as the timeframe in which they were required
to meet this condition.

 

3) Of the identified resident visa holders in "2" above, how many have had
a reduction in the overall number of days reflected in the “minimum period
of time in New Zealand” condition. Please also provide the date the visa
holders' conditions were varied (month and year is acceptable, as long as
the number per month is also provided).

 

4) Of those identified in "3" above, please provide the number of days
reduced as well as their corresponding category (Investor 1 or Investor
2).”

 

Please note that days between 25 December 2022 to 15 January 2023
