Parent Resident Visa EOI Update
William made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment
The request was partially successful.
From: William
Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
1. According to https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zeal..., I assume that all the EOIs received before 12 October 2022 were selected on November 2023, which means all the EOIs remaining in the queued pool can equally share the 2500 annual quote. Please correct me if I am wrong.
2. In the above case, could you please disclose the total number of active EOIs remaining in the pool (please exclude the declined/refused ones)? Please also provide the number of applicants in all ballot EOIs as one EOI may have 2 persons too.
3. The National promised to introduce a Parent Visa Boost - a multiple entry visa valid for five years with an extension possible for a further five years. I am wondering if there is any update on this proposal.
Yours faithfully,
William

Hi @Zaheer Patel,
INZ did reply to me regarding my question about the Parent Residence category. Please find it here:
The requested information relating to Parent Resident Visa expression of interest (EOI) can be found
on the Immigration New Zealand website: Parent Resident Visa overview and application numbers |
Immigration New Zealand.
https://www.immigration.govt.nz/about-us...
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Will

I have a feeling that INZ either didn't fully understand your questions or is deliberately avoiding them, providing unrelated answers instead. They're emphasizing the government's promise regarding the Parent Visitor Long-term Visa, but your inquiry was specifically about the Parent Residence category.
