In April, Immigration New Zealand (INZ) will close its Pretoria office, along with six other offshore offices. Visa processing in Bangkok, Manila, Washington DC, Pretoria and Dubai will stop, but INZ will maintain a presence in those regions to gather market intelligence, manage risk and carry out verification activities. INZ encourages applicants to access the services they need through the online channels or to contact the Immigration Contact Centre. Applications for residence, which are not currently supported online, can be posted. The Immigration Contact Centre can be contacted on: 0508 558 855 (NZ landline only) or on: +64 9 914 4100 (overseas or mobile)
