To check if your ballot was selected, you must have your ballot registration number. You cannot search by your name or other personal details. You can find your ballot number in the registration email Immigration New Zealand sent you.
How to check if your ballot was drawn

If your registration number is not listed
If you search your number and there are no results, your ballot was not drawn in the 2024 ballot.
You can register again in 2025 when registrations for the Pacific Access Category Resident Visa ballot reopen. We will announce the reopening date in 2025.
The 2024 ballot had places available for 250 Tongan citizens, 250 Fijian citizens, 75 Kiribati citizens and 75 Tuvaluan citizens.
Places available means how many people can be granted residence, not how many registrations will be drawn from the ballot. Ballots can include more than 1 person. For example, if family members are included in a registration each family member will use a space from the quota.
