The text of the letter presented to the Minister (as in picture):
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!“Indian migrants contribute significantly to the New Zealand economy by choosing New Zealand as a migration destination. To continue to promote New Zealand and in the interest of fairness to current migrants, we request that the following be considered and addressed by your office:
-
Grant a short-term work visa to migrants stranded outside of New Zealand due to COVID-19, once borders open. Including post-study work visa holders who have invested in New Zealand education and have completed their studies.
-
Legalise the visa status of those who have become over-stayers during lockdown, specially those former international students who were working towards a pathway to residency.
-
Automatically extend the six months stay to 12 months for parents and grant parents onshore who hold multiple entry visitor visas and cannot depart from New Zealand during the lockdown.”
-Gaurav Sharma
