Almost 70,000 Applications Received By New Zealand After It Opened Resident Visa Category

The pandemic has really hit the entire world hard and everyone is affected. Many businesses had to close down. People had to stay inside their homes. Healthcare workers have to be on the frontlines to fight the virus that caused the pandemic. Deliveries became the norm. Countries had to close their borders. And with the border closures, many people who may have had plans to move to a new country like New Zealand to become immigrants had to postpone what they were supposed to do.

 

The pandemic has yet to be declared to be over and it is a good thing that the governments of countries were on the tip of their toes to ensure that things go back to normal as soon as possible. There were countries that immediately closed their borders while there were some that found other ways to ensure that the pandemic does not hit their country hard. In the case of New Zealand, it has created a plan that would keep the virus at bay to ensure that things go back to normal and immigration goes back up once again.

 

One of the recent moves from New Zealand has been to open the Resident Visa Category and start accepting applications. This move has gotten a lot of individuals interested and the applications have come rushing in.

 

Attracting a lot of applications

 

The government of New Zealand had announced the 2021 Resident Visa Category a year ago and it had opened and started accepting applications for this route back in December 2021. When that opened, a rush of applications was received by New Zealand even until today. So far, the country has been able to receive over 68,900 applications which came from around 132,000 individuals from around the world. That is a huge number and it simply reflects just how much people are really interested in moving to this beautiful country and only the pandemic was stopping them.

 

A second phase has been opened for this visa category in New Zealand, and it was opened on March 1, 2022. Since that has been opened, the country received somewhere around 45,000 applications that came from more than 77,500 individuals from around the world. It is a good thing that the country has allowed submission of applications through its improved platform for Immigration Online.

 

The system is working

 

Geoff Scott works as the General Manager of Immigration New Zealand and he recently stated that with the way things are going in terms of applications, it does seem like the upgraded system that New Zealand is using is working well. The number of applications that the country has received through the upgraded platform is actually a big achievement and the number surely has surpassed the numbers in the past.
