Ref: 2021-1688

 

Dear Afiqah,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 2 March 2021 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

I am writing as the National President of New Zealand International
Students Association (NZISA). We are responsible for national advocacy on
behalf of international students.

 

In light of the new announcement made today by the MBIE, on increasing the
MIQ costs for temporary visa holders from $3100 to $5520, please provide
the complete breakdown of the MIQ costs.

 

We would like to understand the rationale for the additional $2420 that is
applicable only to temporary visa holders. This information would help us
support international students who are currently offshore, and will be
severely impacted by this cost increase.

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request, or its urgency, feel
free to contact us via email at [1][MBIE request email].
