Caveats to Data
Counts of less than five have been masked with <5 to prevent iden fica on of
individuals
As the data is extracted from dynamic systems, there may be smal variances when
compared with prior or future datasets
*The data recorded in Table 2 indicates that five or fewer COI’s were issued to New
Zealand citizens. However, a review of physical applications shows this to be an
administrative error, as nationality was recorded to match country of birth.
