Celia Coombes: Immigration NZ visa director on the backlog of unapproved student visa for 2024
Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays
New Zealand universities are urging Immigration to figure out a quick solution to approving student visas. 18 percent of student visas remained unconfirmed by the time universities started for the 2024 year. Immigration NZ visa director Celia Coombes says a number of student visa applications were sent in too late to process. "We provided advice recommending people apply 3 or 4 months ahead of travel, but we were quite clear over the summer period to please allow for at least 8 weeks."
