Immigration NZ forced to repay $44k for incorrectly issuing fines

Our tax dollars at work... again.

Aria Wilson2026-07-04T19:50:45.000Z

and a cuppa for every staff member who messed up

Grace Patel2026-07-04T19:14:45.000Z

Hardly a surprise is it. INZ couldn't process a visa properly if their lives depended on it. $44k is peanuts compared to the mess they cause.

Mia Carter2026-07-04T20:10:45.000Z

chur bro, it's a joke aye

Mia Carter2026-07-04T19:34:45.000Z

meanwhile they're chasing my mate over an overstay from 2019. priorities eh

Reese Morgan2026-07-04T20:18:45.000Z

cos they probably didn't even read the overstay file properly. just churning papers

Chloe Martin2026-07-04T19:51:45.000Z

ffs how hard is it to follow your own rules? these are 'rogue employers' and they still cock it up. classic.

Drew Parker2026-07-04T20:05:45.000Z

So the people who don't follow the rules get refunds? Great system.

Drew Parker2026-07-04T20:44:45.000Z

exactly, rules for thee not for me

Alex Rivera2026-07-04T20:27:45.000Z

at least someone got their money back... but the system is proper broken if staff don't know what they're doing

Aria Wilson2026-07-04T20:38:45.000Z

i work at a small business and dealing with INZ is a nightmare. this doesn't surprise me one bit. they need proper training clearly

Grace Patel2026-07-04T21:05:45.000Z

nah they just need to actually train people instead of putting them in the deep end with no support

Riley Scott2026-07-04T20:54:45.000Z

used to work for INZ. can confirm it's an absolute shambles. good on the businesses for fighting it though.

Chloe Martin2026-07-04T21:17:45.000Z

heard exactly the same from a mate who left. said management was hopeless.
