Ryan S made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

The request was successful.

From: Ryan S

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

I wish to make the following request regarding people who currently do not have the right to be in New Zealand

1) Does Immigration New Zealand keep track of how many people in New Zealand do not have the right to be here? (My understanding is that the term is "unlawful")

2) How many people are currently known to Immigration New Zealand as "Unlawful"?

3) Could you please break the total number of unlawfuls down into Male/Female/Other

4) Could you please break down the total number of unlawfuls into a table showing citizenship/country of birth?

5) Could you please break down the total number of unlawfuls into their age bracket? (Age brackets being 0-9,10-19,20-29, 30 - 39 etc) (If these age brackets are not possible, could you please break them into a brackets that can be done by whatever your system is)

6) I understand that the team that deals with unlawfuls is called compliance and that they have a tier priority list for choosing who to treat with priority, could you please detail what that priority list is? (I understand it's tier 1 - 10)

Yours faithfully,

Ryan S
