Increase in MIQ costs for temporary visa holders - are you impacted?

Lucy Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi Neighbours,

MBIE has just announced that from 25 March 2021, MIQ costs for temporary entry visa class holders will increase from $3100 to $5520.

Temporary visa holders (including those on visitor visas, student visas, work visas and limited visas) who have already booked MIQ spots and are due to enter on/after 25 March will also be expected to pay by the new standards.

Are you impacted by this change? What are your thoughts on this change? Feel free to get in touch with me to share your views:

ANZAC Day // We Will Remember Them

Saint Johns Butchery

Spare a thought tomorrow, ANZAC day, for New Zealand's servicemen and women, both past and present. These amazing people will be remembered and honoured this day for their courage and service to our country. For details about ANZAC parades and services in the Auckland area, check out ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

Respectfully, Saint Johns Butchery will be CLOSED on ANZAC day and will reopen for business as usual on Friday.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

- Laurence Binyon, 'For the Fallen' (fourth stanza)
