Following the ballot draws that occurred on 10 June 2016, all successful registration numbers for the Pacific Access Category and Samoan Quota Scheme are now available.
Immigration New Zealand will contact all successful registrants directly with information about the next steps and how to apply for residence in New Zealand.
Official 2016 Pacific Quota ballot lists
If your registration number is listed in your country’s ballot draw results, congratulations! We will be in touch with you shortly with information on how to complete and lodge your residence application.
If your registration number is not listed
If your registration number is not on these official lists, then unfortunately your number was not drawn and you are therefore not eligible to apply for New Zealand residence under the 2016 Samoan Quota or Pacific Access Category. We will only be contacting registrants who were selected from the ballots.
A number of people are selected for New Zealand residence under the Samoan Quota Scheme and Pacific Access Category every year. We encourage you to register again when the registration period next opens in 2017.
