On 9 July 2025, the entire Pacific Legal team attended an evening with Hon. Erica Stanford, the Minister of Immigration. This event was hosted by The Law Association of New Zealand at the JW Marriott Hotel.
Richard is a member of the Association’s Immigration and Refugee Law Committee. It was a pleasure to mix with other immigration professionals and hear from a Minister who is passionate about the immigration portfolio.
The Minister was available to answer general questions, speak directly with lawyers and those in attendance, which we took advantage of. There were some insights into Minister’s vision for the immigration system.
Some of the questions were about the investor visa and categories of applications which remain paper based. Richard is continuing to follow up on this as part of the Association.
It was a pleasure to include our newest team member Shradha together with Anaise, Jing and Iris. All in all, it was a great evening.
