Refugees in New Zealand
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Refugees_in_New_Zealand
Refugees in New Zealand have two main pathways for resettling in the country. Asylum seekers may seek protection after arrival in New Zealand (either as refugees or protected persons). Refugees or protected persons may also be resettled from offshore through New Zealand's Refugee Quota Programme. Refugees who have been resettled can apply to sponsor relatives to join them (growing to 600 per year from 2021). In 2017/18 a community sponsorship pathway was trialled, extended from 2021.

A refugee who is resettled into New Zealand is granted permanent residency and may apply for citizenship. Much of the discussion in recent years has focussed on whether the annual United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) resettlement quota is adequate, focussed on the most vulnerable and on the outcomes for refugees coming through this system. New Zealand is one of the few countries in the world that receive more quota refugees than asylum applications. There has been relatively little focus on the rights of asylum seekers.
