移民局表示，涨价的原因是申请人总数低于预期，需要继续保持移民局工作的效率，将对申请费用进行调整。鉴于全球性的经济萎缩，相应减少的工作名额，降低了新西兰对外来移民者的吸引程度。
移民局相信，在今后的三年中，签证的申请总数将会有3.3%的增幅。即使现在对申请费用的调整，新西兰的签证费用还是显著低于其他国家。80%的旅游签证申请者将不会收到此调整的影响。

另：新西兰移民局还公告，将在6月29号当日临时关闭在Henderson的办事处，为新来员工提供培训。7月2号将重新开放。如有要邮寄资料的朋友，请妥善安排好时间。

附移民局来信：
Dear licensed immigration adviser,
I am writing to let you know that Immigration New Zealand will be increasing immigration fees by an average of 16.7 percent from 2 July.
The rise is needed to continue to reflect the cost of delivering immigration services and address a shortfall in revenue caused by lower than forecast numbers of visa applications.As you know New Zealand has not been immune from the global financial crisis. Migrants have been less willing and able to migrate and fewer job offers have been available here.
The increase will also enable us to maintain our improvement in the timeliness and quality of decision-making. We’re not expecting the rise to have an effect on application volumes, which are forecast to recover in the next few years and to rise by an average of 3.3 percent over the next three years across all visa types. Even with this increase New Zealand’s fees will remain broadly comparable to competitor countries, and it is important to note that around 80 percent of visitors will not be affected by the increases anyway as they travel visa free.  
I appreciate that this will come as unwelcome news, but I want to assure you that we will do everything we can to ensure that we continue to provide a first class service to all our customers.
For further inquiries, call the adviser helpline on 0800 542 469.
