Hi Tammy,

Thank you for your query.

The Government is currently reviewing its approach to the NZRP, and is considering replacing the planning range with a more targeted approach that focuses on management of specific residence categories.

In the meantime, INZ continues to process on hand visa applications. Due to the high volume of applications and our need to manage risk, the Skilled Migrant and Residence from Work categories will continue to take time to process.

Regards,

Operations Support
Border & Visa Operations, Immigration New Zealand
