A South Korean woman’s medically assisted deportation cost New Zealand taxpayers $85,000 after both she and the Korean government declined to pay.
The woman had overstayed her visa since 2012 and was rediscovered in 2024 after being hospitalised following two strokes. She required two medical escorts and specialised air transport after undergoing brain surgery and rehabilitation.
Figures from 2024 showed just over half of deportees were overstayers, 30% had breached other visa conditions and 16% were deported following criminal offending. Recent figures estimated about 19,000 people are currently overstaying their visas, including 6,559 who arrived within the past three years.

Stop all South Koreans entering NZ until they pay the bill and threaten to return those that are there.
Would have been a good deckhand on a submarine. Then she could have worked her passage home.
We’ve got plenty of money
Look at the way NZ super is dished out
Politicians don’t want to touch anything that may cost them votes
So they keep kicking the can down the road
The days of giving a toss about the country are over
Throw them in a row boat on an out going tide, cost 1 inflatable dinghy. No wonder NZ is f*****
Still cheaper than keeping her, btw did we deport the whole family, remember, corruption starts with the mother.
Jews are matriarchal
Not monarchical
You are correct
New Zealand would prosper if we deported the sick foreign corporations masquerading as our Parliament and Reserve Bank back to England.
So a woman from korea came to NZ in 2012 and highly likely for the next 12 years worked her guts out 14 hour days for skimpy pay from a highly likely exploitive sack-of-crap “boss” highly likely serving spoiled sheltered YOU from the back kitchens of a restaurant or changing sh*t-covered elderly nappies daily in a nursing home or grinding in a stinking grotty factory for some self-entitled millionare corporate sleazeball and then she got crook and cost YOU .000000001 cents whilst your snot-nosed latte-sipping punk-arsed politicians spend $85000 per minute every fkn day of the year on HORSESHIT designed to line their own scumbag corporate pockets. And the NASTY CLUELESS SHELTERED SPOILT SH*THEADS here are screaming to f*ck-over the sick highly likely dying korean woman even more… That’ll fkn teach her! Arseholes……
Expect more of this compliments of Nationals India FTA…….
Still cheaper than having to support her if allwoed to stay.
The system knew where she was . It just smoke and mirrors . Immigration dept . Just trying to hide them not doing their jobs . Heads need to roll
Nice timing too CLUELESS WANKERS, 2024, two to three years later, the (NOW) well established period of the turbo-cancer clot-shots to well and truly set in firmly to well and truly f*ck you over, courtersy of the grotesque slimeball c*nt adern and her eye-darting snake off-siders sh*tkins and blomfield slithering their criminal phony arses to demand you take fraudulent big-pharma poison injections up your trembling arses or else LOSE YOUR FKN JOB…
OPINION-
Anytime anyone visits New Zealand, it should be mandatory to show that they have proof of Travelers Insurance before being granted any type of visa which includes medical coverage and evacuation to one’s home country. It’s a no-brainer!
Refugee and asylum status should only be granted if there is proof of persecution, false targeted prosecution, or imminent threat to life.
