The latest estimates from Statistics NZ show 19,900 people arrived in NZ on a long-term basis in April, while 17,656 departed long-term. That's the lowest monthly net gain since July 2022 when migration numbers were just starting to pick up again after pandemic border closures. Long-term arrivals were reasonably steady in April at 19,900, compared to the 20,016 long term arrivals in February, and 17,946 in March. That means there was a net loss of 8194 New Zealand citizens in April, and a net gain of 10,439 citizens of other countries. However the Statistics NZ figures are provisional and may be subject to significant revisions.
