Applicants who have submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa may withdraw their EOI and request a refund before the July or final August selection. However, if their EOI has been selected or is still in the pool when the category closes, they will not be eligible for a refund. This is because the fee they pay covers the costs of assessing their EOI.
Information about withdrawing an EOI
Applicants who wish to withdraw their EOI can do so by following the instructions on the Immigration New Zealand website. They will need to complete a Customer Refund Request Form and provide evidence of the bank account that the EOI fee was paid from.
