New Zealand blacklists SL company over organised visa fraud

New Zealand has blacklisted a Sri Lankan company over organised visa fraud. 

The finance company provided false information for students about their finances, allowing them to secure a visa to the country. 

"Immigration New Zealand are going to manually review the 895 applications that came from Sri Lankan students through the Mumbai office in 2017," Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway was quoted as saying by the New Zealand Herald newspaper.

"They're going to see which of those involved this particular finance company."

"This is something that has appeared before, that there have been issues with this type of behaviour before. It is something Immigration New Zealand is very aware of."
