American commentator Candace Owens has applied for a New Zealand entertainer’s visa to deliver a speech in Auckland on November 14.

Owens’ visa to Australia was cancelled on grounds her visit could cause “social disorder”.

Immigration New Zealand (INZ) confirmed that Owens’ application is under review, requiring her to meet good character requirements, including an assessment of potential “risks to public order” or security.

While New Zealand’s immigration laws do not automatically bar individuals based on expressed opinions, INZ will consider whether Owens poses a risk to public interest.
