1.I wish to know how much money long term immigrants are bringing into the
country over the last 10 years with breakdown per year. I request this
information under the Official Information act. If time span not feasible
would consider a shorter time span covering several years. Request that
you advise me if this turns out to be the case. Also if possible broken
down into bins of $100,000 lots. For instance number of immigrants
bringing in 0 - $100,000 for each year over last 10 years. Then number of
immigrants bringing in $100,000-$200,000 for each year over last 10 years.
Then number of immigrants bringing in $200,000-$300,000 for each year over
last 10 years etc. If bin sizes not possible please provide information in
smallest realistically feasible bin size you can provide and advise that
you have done so.

 

2. Could you please supply me, under the OIA, the average-per-immigrant
dollar amount and also total dollar amounts brought into the country for
long stay immigrants not coming in under an investor visa. For instance
work, refugee or any other visa. Could you please give me those figures
broken down per year over several years up to the present year or up to
the last figures recorded and from last country of departure. If last
country of departure is not feasible then over larger geographic region,

Have contacted Ombudsman for their assistance as I don't find it credible that the NZ government is allowing long term immigrants into the country without proof that they can support themselves.
