Hugh Laurie's 'tweets' regarding the Immigration Authority and Department
Of course, like any
other foreign visitor, he too would need to fill up the forms which the actor
and musician found to be quite amusing and also quite a hassle because of the
details expected to be provided by him. In his tweets, Hugh Laurie, said
humorously and wittily, as to whether as part of the process of filling up the
forms, he would also need to provide ‘personal letters’ to the Immigration
department, New Zealand, as ‘evidence of the state of his marriage with his
wife ’. And then he adds, in the same humorous tone and way, that he would not;
he could and would instead write to them that he and his wife were planning a
trip to New Zealand but that he would say in the application to Immigration new
Zealand, on behalf of his wife, that they were ‘faking their marriage of 25
years’ just to be able to come to New Zealand and be there for just 3 days!
But and so, in response
to these tweets, Immigration New Zealand in turn sought to contact Laurie's
Australian publicist and their own
offices in Los Angeles and London. But, Laurie’s publicist in New Zealand, Ms. Michelle
Lafferty, confirmed that Laurie's tweets were intended to be just and only that,
humorous, witty and tongue-in-cheek. And also, finally, Immigration New
Zealand, also clarified that while Laurie would need a ‘visitor visa’ since he
was performing there as part of a band, his wife, since she was a British
citizen would not need a visitor visa, if she was intending to stay for less
than six months.
