Parmjeet Parmar: ACT's Immigration Spokesperson on their proposed changes to Permanent Resident Visa requirements

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

ACT's proposing changes to Permanent Resident Visa requirements to make sure holders are actually living here.   The party wants to increase the initial two-year travel condition for Resident Visa holders to five.  Residents would be able to travel freely in and out of the country after this period, but would need to spend at least 730 days here during any rolling five-year period.  Immigration Spokesperson Parmjeet Parmar told Ryan Bridge they want people to be living, working, and contributing in New Zealand.  She says they're welcoming all migrants who genuinely want to be here, but her job is to fix the system if it's being exploited.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
