Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
I noticed that around Dec 2022 to Jan 2023, the processing time for 90% of Permanent Resident Visa application became 27 days, but now it is 11 months again, I would like to request what happened that made such a big change.
Also, I would like to request whether INZ requires applicants of China to provide National Security Check.
Yours faithfully,
Junlong

Dear INZ OIAs,
Thanks for your reply.
May I enquire about the processing time of permanent resident visa applications received from 15 Nov 2022 until now for Chinese nationals and the percentage of them asked for NSC? Or any related data if my request is too complicated.
