Appendix A to OIA2324-0200
Online Citizenship by Grant applications received in February 2023
Caveats:
1. The data was collated on, and is accurate, as of 28 September 2023 and is grouped by
workstream.
2. Countries with fewer than 5 applications for a particular status have been masked with
<5 to prevent possible identification of individuals.
3. Country of birth is not confirmed until an application has been assessed by a LISO,
therefore unassigned applications may not have the correct country. This is often the
case with people entering New Zealand as the country of birth mistakenly.
4. As the data is extracted from dynamic systems, there may be small variances when
compared with prior or future datasets.
