Sonny Lam: Queen City Law Immigration Expert on the potential changes to the immigration settings in the India FTA

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

The Foreign Affairs Minister's claims around our trade deal with India have an immigration expert warning the settings could be more tough than usual.  Winston Peters let loose accusations last week National was covertly changing immigration settings in bad faith.   Immigration Minister Erica Stanford now says initial decisions consistent with the FTA have been sent to ministers for feedback.  Queen City Law's Sonny Lam told Ryan Bridge the proposed restrictions will likely be more extreme than previous examples – like Chinese special policy and Thai chef visas.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
