Dear Caroline

 

I have been allocated your Official Information Act request to work on. I
just wanted to clarify your request with you quickly. The details I have
are as follows:

 

I would like to request the number of students working visas  given out 
in New Zealand by year from 2005 till 2015.

 

I have interpreted your request as asking for the number of students
granted visas with conditions allowing them to work (for example,
part-time work during the semester, or practical experience as part of a
course requirement), each year from 2005 to 2015. Please let me know if
this correct.

 

Kind regards
