Over 1,000 Immigrants In New Zealand Became Its Residents A Few Days Before Christmas

For people who have become immigrants in a country and are aiming at becoming residents there, the best Christmas gift that they could get would be that change in status. And this happened to over 1,000 individuals who were immigrants in New Zealand. A few days before Christmas last year, these individuals were granted their residency and it sure was a very merry Christmas for all of them.

 

According to the Immigration New Zealand (which is also known as the INZ), over 1,000 individuals were able to get their residence through the 2021 Resident Visa category which was a new one. The applications for phase one of this category just opened on the first day of December last year. Those who were qualified sent in their applications and INZ processed them. And come December 22nd, these individuals were then granted their residence and they surely were quite happy at this early Christmas gift from New Zealand.

 

How it happened

 

On December 22, 2021, there were 1,057 individuals who were granted their residence visa. These people were very happy was it was like an early Christmas gift that they received after working hard to ensure that they were able to get this. The INZ also shared that soon enough, another 500 individuals would be getting their residence visas as well.

 

Geoff Scott is the General Manager of the INZ and he said that this sure has been great news for all of those individuals who became residents of New Zealand, right before Christmas. On this development, he has mentioned that a good amount of these individuals have actually been waiting for so long already just to become residents of New Zealand. That is why to actually witness and see them receiving this visa is really heartwarming. He also mentioned that to see things move quickly right after their application for the 2021 Resident Visa is a really good thing to experience. He also continued that the new category is really spot on in terms of its quick delivery.

 

Processing the applications

 

The INZ received 11,697 total applications for the Resident Visa. The agency mentioned that this amount is actually bigger by 80% of what has been expected for the phase one applications. This just shows just how many immigrants living in the New Zealand are really focused and interested in becoming residents of the country. Scott also mentioned that right from the very start, the INZ has been committed to ensuring that the applications are processed at the soonest time possible and what is happening right now is proof that they are really able to deliver. The INZ will also continue the momentum and work on all the applications as soon as possible, especially with phase two opening in March.
