Second chance at visas for some Pacific people Read all about it .... Chief Ombudsman Dame Beverley Wakem says Pacific people who believe they were not treated fairly when Immigration New Zealand implemented policies enabling Pacific residency quotas may now get another chance to be considered. The criteria cover people from Tonga, Samoa, Tuvalu, Kiribati or Fiji, who are overstayers in New Zealand, and who made a request to Immigration New Zealand under s 35A of the Immigration Act 1987 between November 15, 2004 and March 31, 2005 and were refused. Those applying must have been between 18 and 45 on March 31, 2005 and must have had a job offer or been in employment when the request was made.
