斯里兰卡公民Ruchira Ranasingha已在太平洋岛国库克群岛滞留长达三年 1。2022年12月，她进入新西兰并申请庇护，随后获发了开放工作签证 1。然而，移民顾问Sylviane Gallant建议她离境重新申请工作签证，这一操作导致她违反了原有的签证条款 1。最终，Ranasingha被拒绝入境，陷入了既无法返回祖国也无法前往其他目的地的困境 1。
造成Ranasingha被困的核心原因在于地理与行政流程形成的“死循环”：从库克群岛飞往夏威夷或塔希提必须经过新西兰，而该过程需要在新西兰采集生物识别信息 1。但新西兰当局已至少三次拒绝她的过境签证申请，理由是无法确信她具有真实的过境意图 1。与此同时，澳大利亚也拒绝了其四次过境签证申请 1。即便Ranasingha提出愿意佩戴手铐由人员护送以证明不会再次寻求庇护，新西兰移民局代表仍坚持不予放行，指出这种措施无法根本阻止当事人日后再次提出庇护申请 1。
目前，斯里兰卡外交部表示正在与新西兰及库克群岛官员展开合作，试图协助Ranasingha回国，但局势仍未得到解决 1。
Ruchira Ranasingha has been stranded in the Cook Islands for three years, unable to obtain a transit visa to return to Sri Lanka or travel elsewhere 1. Her situation began after she left New Zealand in late 2022 following advice from an immigration consultant, which led to a violation of her existing visa conditions and a subsequent refusal of entry upon trying to return 1. She is currently caught in a bureaucratic deadlock due to repeated visa refusals from both New Zealand and Australian authorities 1.
The events originated when Ranasingha entered New Zealand in December 2022 and applied for asylum, receiving an open work visa during the process 1. Immigration consultant Sylviane Gallant advised her to leave the country to reapply for a work visa 1. This action resulted in her breaching the terms of her current visa, leading to her being denied re-entry 1. Now stuck in the Cook Islands, Ranasingha faces a circular obstacle: flying to Hawaii or Tahiti requires collecting biometric information in New Zealand, but this is where her visa applications are rejected 1.
New Zealand Immigration officials have stated they remain unconvinced of her genuine intent to transit, having rejected at least three separate applications 1. The Australian government has also denied four of her transit visa requests 1. Even when Ranasingha proposed being escorted back while wearing handcuffs, New Zealand authorities refused, explaining that such measures would not prevent her from making future asylum claims 1. The Sri Lankan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed it is cooperating with New Zealand and Cook Islands officials to facilitate her return, though the issue remains unresolved 1.
