Our Response
On 7 June 2023 we advised you that due to the substantial collation of information required to respond to
your requests, we needed to extend the due date to 20 June 2023. We are now in a position to be able to
provide a response to the two requests detailed above.
Please refer to the attached appendices for the information that you have requested. You have indicated
in your requests for data to be broken down by industry. Immigration New Zealand data is not categorised

correspond with your definition of industry, we have provided you with complete occupation data on the
understanding that you will be able to extract the data you require.
The data is provided as at 31 May 2023 and encompasses all data since the categories in question came
into existence.
Information included in the appendices are as following:
Appendix one – Recovery Visa application data
• Contains tables one, two, three and four.
Appendix two – Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) visa application data
• Contains tables five, six, seven, eight and nine.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information
about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802
602.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, or if you require any further assistance,
