Parent Resident Visa overview and application numbers

Sarah Zhang made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Sarah Zhang to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Sarah Zhang

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

Hope this email finds you well.

I noted,
Parent Resident Visa overview and application numbers was updated until Feb 2025 for now.

Just wondering when it can be updated again as I knew we proceed one selection in May already.

Thanks,

Yours faithfully,

Sarah Zhang

Tēnā koe, 

Thank you for contacting us.

INZ has an annual limit of 2,500 Parent Category visas that can be granted
up to 30 June 2025. As we are nearing this limit, we have had to slow
processing of Parent Category applications that have not already been
decided until closer to the time when the new quota becomes available, on
1 July 2025. We will be in touch with you closer to that time if we need
more information for your application.
