新西兰将公民身份处理缩短为69天,从180天降至69天,积压量减少了70%。 New Zealand slashed citizenship processing to 69 days, down from 180, cutting backlogs by 70%.

新西兰在五年内实现了其最快的公民身份处理时间,平均等待决定的时间现已从180天缩短69天,这要归功于内政部为清理积压案件所作的努力。 New Zealand has achieved its fastest citizenship processing times in five years, with the average wait for a decision now 69 days—down from 180 days—thanks to efforts by the Department of Internal Affairs to clear a backlog. 自2022年达到37 690人的峰值以来,等待决定的申请人人数减少了70%,现在不足11 000人,原因是优先处理老申请和精简业务。 The number of applicants awaiting decisions has dropped 70% since a 2022 peak of 37,690, now under 11,000, due to prioritizing older applications and streamlining operations. Brooke van Velden部长将进展归功于效率的提高,并强调申请人(其中许多人已在新西兰生活至少五年)为经济和社会做出了重大贡献。 Minister Brooke van Velden credited the progress to improved efficiency and emphasized that applicants, many of whom have lived in New Zealand for at least five years, contribute significantly to the economy and society. 政府强调,及时承认那些为在该国建设新生活作出大量投资的人的个人重要性。 The government highlighted the personal importance of timely recognition for those who have made substantial investments in building new lives in the country.
