Subject: Official Information request - Total number of people with a New
Zealand residence status visa

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

Please can you establish and advise to me, the current number of people
who have NZ Permanent Residence status visas?

That is essentially my request.  It may be of some use to explain that I
am wondering how many people in total would have the legal right to come
and stay in NZ if everyone with a passport or NZ Residence all came
together.  As I understand it there are actually over 5 million "New
Zealanders" but it's not clear if that includes people with NZ Permanent
Residence status?

I have met a few people who come to NZ for long enough to get Permanent
residence and then go back to their country of origin - presumably with
that status as an insurance against future world events.

Goodness I thought.  So how many people might there be?  Are there
millions?  Should we be worried?

That is the basic concern.

Yours faithfully,

Chris Clarke
