Immigration NZ mistakenly issues 115 visas, family told they could be deported
A couple have been left out of pocket after being granted visas to visit New Zealand, only to be told by immigration authorities there had been an “error” and warned they could be deported if they tried to use it.
Stuff understands Immigration New Zealand mistakenly granted 115 visas and are now assessing whether to grant refunds to people who had booked flights and accomodation before Immigration realised their mistake.
Jawed and Rizwana Qazi had planned to fly from Pakistan to visit family in West Auckland in April and were “happy” to have been granted visitor visas, valid for a year.
