On Monday, 19 October, Immigration New Zealand announced on its website that it would continue to delay the extraction of EOI (Letter of Intent) for both categories of immigration.
Immigration New Zealand said the EOI draw for the Skilled Migrant Category and the Parent Residence Visa Category would be delayed by another six months, meaning applicants for both categories would have to be retried as soon as April 2021, even if they submitted their applications.
Immigration New Zealand said the move would allow the Department of Immigration to focus on visa applications for people already in New Zealand who are already in New Zealand or who are eligible to use immunity to visit New Zealand during border restrictions caused by the COVID19 outbreak.
