Year Ending In October 2019 Records High Amount Of Immigrants With Work Visas And Long-Term Visitor Visas In New Zealand





The growth of the population in New Zealand is going up and that is thanks in part to immigrants. That is according to the latest numbers and analysis given by Statistics NZ, the official agency of the country that works with data, numbers, and such. The agency has also shown that as per their records, there was an increase in population that came from immigration totaling to 55,613 individuals for the year that ended in October 2019. This number is up by 10.8% as compared to the year before that. This increase is the highest one recorded for a period of 12 months. The last time that it peaked was in 2016.

The experts from Statistics NZ have also shared that the gain in the population would have even become higher if the country did not experience a significant amount of people leaving the country for a variety of reasons. There are citizens leaving the country to work in other countries. And there are also immigrants in the country who have left New Zealand since their visas have already expired.
