The 2024 Pacific Access Category and Samoan Quota draws took place on 24 July.
Registrations have been drawn to invite 250 Tongan, 250 Fijian citizens, 75 Kiribati and 75 Tuvaluan citizens to apply for New Zealand residence under the Pacific Access Category and 1,650 Samoan citizens to apply for residence under the Samoan Quota.
You can now find out if you were successful in the ballot by entering your current registration number into the search tools on the pages linked below.

The number of registrations drawn is less than the number of people who will be granted residence because many registrations include multiple family members (for example a family of 4 included on 1 registration).
If your registration number is listed
Congratulations, your registration was successfully drawn in the ballot and you have been invited to apply for New Zealand residence. We will be in touch with you soon with information on how to apply.
If your registration number is not listed
If your registration number is not on this list, unfortunately your number was not drawn this time. This means you cannot apply for New Zealand residence on this occasion.
You can register again to enter the ballot in 2025 when the Pacific Access Category and Samoan Quota ballots reopen.
