NZ Embassy responds

I write in response to a letter written by Aji Saptaji
published in The Jakarta Post on April 29, 2002.

All applications for New Zealand visas are carefully
considered and decisions are made on the basis of each
applicant's unique circumstances and the documentation submitted
in support of their application.

Decisions to decline visa applications are not taken lightly
and are made only when there are good reasons to do so. In Aji
Saptaji's case, the decision was made after careful consideration
of his application and the validity of the documentation that he
submitted. Aji Saptaji is welcome to contact us at the New
Zealand Embassy at any time to discuss his visa application.

The New Zealand Immigration Service in Jakarta receives many
applications for visas each year and the majority of these are
approved. New Zealand welcomes travelers from Indonesia and
genuine visitors are encouraged to submit visa applications at
any time.
