American commentator Candace Owens was denied a visa to enter New Zealand for a speaking engagement due to her previous ban from another country. The Free Speech Union has vowed to challenge the decision, arguing that Immigration New Zealand (INZ) misinterpreted the law when refusing Owens an Entertainer’s Work Visa.
She had applied for this visa but was automatically declined under a provision of the Immigration Act that says someone may not be granted a visa to come to New Zealand if they have been excluded from another country.
