Dear Mr Harpley
Thank you for your email of 20 April, transferred to the Ministry by the Associate Minister of
Immigration requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982, the following information:
“I would like the statistics for the last 12months, for denial of entry into New Zealand, by the
Auckland airport NZ Immigration office. i.e. days of week and Nationalities of those denied
entry.
Is it standard practice for Immigration NZ managers to be offsite on weekends making denial
of entry decisions.”

enquiries regarding your request, you may contact us via email at [email address] or
