What analysis, aides-mémoire, briefings, memos, notes, reports, or any other advice, if any, has the Minister or their office seen about Pacific visa waiver access?

Answer

I have received a range of advice on New Zealand’s visitor visa settings for Pacific countries, including visa waiver access. This included advice on streamlining the visitor visa process, including Fiji in the list of Transit visa waiver country longer duration multi entry visas, visa fees for the Pacific, and visa waiver access for citizens of Pacific Island Forum countries who hold eligible Australian visas. Some of this advice has been proactively released on the MBIE website.
