Immigration New Zealand is searching for members of an Indian Holi performance group who have overstayed their visas after failing to leave the country.

According to a report by the New Zealand Herald last month, nearly a third of visa applications linked to the group were declined, withdrawn, or flagged due to concerns, including alleged fraudulent documents.

Immigration New Zealand visa director Jock Gilray confirmed today that out of the 18 individuals who entered the country, only three have departed.

He said that of the remaining 15 people still in New Zealand, four currently hold valid visitor visas, while the rest had visas that expired on March 6.
