Kia ora Ruvini and Desandi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Christopher Luxon. He appreciates people taking the time to share their feedback, concerns and ideas.

Please be assured your concerns have been noted. As the Prime Minister, he relies on his colleagues to respond on his behalf to specific matters relating to their portfolios. As such, I have forwarded your email onto the office of the Associate Minister for Immigration, Hon Chris Penk, for their consideration.

Thank you once again for taking the time to write and for your patience; it is very much appreciated.

Kia ora Ruvini and Desandi,

Thank you for your email to the Rt Hon Chris Luxon, Prime Minister, dated 21 January 2025. It has been forwarded to the Office of Hon Chris Penk, Associate Minister of Immigration, for reply.

It is not the Minister’s intention to consider requests where an individual is requesting an exception to the removal of the ability for partners and dependent children of most AEWV holders in ANZSCO level 4 or 5 roles to obtain visas based on their relationship to the AEWV holder. Therefore, the Minister will not be reviewing this matter.

Your family is welcome to explore their eligibility for an alternative visa with Immigration New Zealand: www.immigration.govt.nz.

Please be aware that sections 378 and 11 of the Immigration Act 2009 place no requirement on the Minister to consider your request.

Kind Regards,

Nicole Campbell
