The extremist commentator had been set to embark on a multicity of the two countries.
Far-right influencer Candace Owens has now been banned from entering multiple countries she was planning to visit as part of a live tour.
The American, who has millions of followers on social media, was denied an Entertainers Work Visa to enter New Zealand, immigration officials said Thursday, because she was previously banned from entering Australia.
“Under section 15(1)(f) of the Immigration Act, an individual may not be granted a visa to come to New Zealand if they have been excluded from another country,” Immigration New Zealand said in a statement.
Owens has not publicly addressed the development so far.
The extremist commentator had been set to embark on a multicity tour of New Zealand and Australia. Despite being denied entry to both nations, tickets for her events there still appear to be available for sale online.
