New Zealand had a record net migration gain of 96,200 in the July 2023 year, according to provisional estimates released by Stats NZ today.
The current net migration gain is driven by net gains of non-New Zealand citizens and follows progressive relaxation of COVID-19-related border restrictions from early 2022, as well as changes to immigration settings.
"The record net migration gain in the July 2023 year follows 12 months of a fully open New Zealand border and equates to a net gain of about 19 people per 1,000 population," population indicators manager Tehseen Islam said.
This reverses a net migration loss of 14,500 in the July 2022 year.
The previous net migration peak of 91,700 in the March 2020 year was partly due to many travellers who arrived in late 2019 and early 2020 prolonging their stay in New Zealand as COVID-19-related border and travel restrictions came into effect.

The net migration gain in the July 2023 year was made up of a net gain of 135,600 non-New Zealand citizens and a net migration loss of 39,400 New Zealand citizens.
"The net gain of non-New Zealand citizens continues to set new records, while the net loss of New Zealand citizens is approaching the record loss of 44,400 in the February 2012 year," Islam said.
Citizens of India, the Philippines, China, South Africa, and Fiji drove net migration gains in the July 2023 year.
The July 2023 year saw provisional annual records for:
- total migrant arrivals of 208,400 - before the 2023 record levels, the previous record was 184,900 in the March 2020 year
- migrant arrivals of non-New Zealand citizens, with 182,500
- total net migration gain of 96,200
- net migration gain of non-New Zealand citizens, of 135,600 - before the 2023 record levels, the previous record was 80,400 in the March 2020 year.
Migrants are people changing their country of residence, regardless of their country of citizenship or visa status. A 12-month threshold is used to classify migrants from non-migrants, aligned with international guidelines on measuring migration.
Changes in migration are typically due to a combination of factors. This includes relative economic and labour market conditions between New Zealand and the rest of the world, and immigration policy in New Zealand and other countries.
