On the 2nd of March 2021, the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment revised the cost of Managed
Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ) facilities for temporary visa
holders returning to New Zealand on and after the 25th of
March 2021. This revision saw a rise from $3,100 to $5,520
for one returnee, a 78% increase. For each additional adult,
the price was revised from $950 to $2,990, a 215% increase.
Finally, we saw a 239% increase for each additional child,
from $475 to $1,610.
The sudden hike in MIQ cost comes
as an absolute shock to the international student community,
especially now, as the second exemption cohort of 1000
international students are due to return as early as April.
