Dear Jonathan

 

I refer to your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the OIA)
received on 27 August 2015. You have requested the following information:

 

“could you please provide statistical data on tourist visas for 2014.
Specifically I would like to have a table showing number of tourist visa
applications and number of issued tourist visas listed by nationality.”

 

Please note that the information you have requested is publicly available
on the statistics page of the INZ website:

 

[1]http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/g...

 

To view visitor visa statistics you will need to download the file called
“V1 - Visitor applications decided ZIP”. The statistics are available in
CSV and PDF formats – the CSV file contains a flat data table which can be
read by Microsoft Excel and will allow you to create pivot tables showing
the exact statistics you are looking for. I am happy to provide further
assistance with this if required.

 

Because the information you have requested is publicly available, should
you wish to proceed with your request, we would be likely to refuse it
under section 18(d) of the OIA.

 

You do have the option of withdrawing your request. If you wish withdraw
your request, it would be appreciated if you could send me an email
confirming this.

 

Kind regards
