New Zealand’s government faces internal conflict over a 2025 trade deal with India that expands temporary work and student visas, sparking debate over transparency, immigration, and future visa controls.
New Zealand’s coalition government is split over its 2025 Free Trade Agreement with India, which allows 1,670 skilled Indian workers on temporary permits and removes caps on student visas.
Trade Minister Todd McClay insists the deal doesn’t block future visa caps, but critics, including opposition leaders and coalition partner Winston Peters, dispute this, citing conflicting statements and the agreement’s secret text.
Labour leader Chris Hipkins questions the government’s transparency and lack of consultation, while concerns grow over immigration policy, labor standards, and corporate benefits.
The agreement’s fate hinges on coalition unity ahead of the November 2026 election.
