We can assist with all New Zealand Immigration Matters including Section 61 Requests.
If you are in New Zealand without a visa, We can help.
If your visa has expired and you’re now in New Zealand unlawfully, one option is to apply for a visa as a special case under section 61 of the Immigration Act. This is generally a last resort – it’s mainly intended for when you’ve tried all other channels for getting a visa. You might be able to succeed where you’ve got some very strong reason for being allowed to stay in New Zealand.
Immigration New Zealand has “absolute discretion” in these cases, meaning that there are few restrictions on them in how they go about making the decision, and you have no appeal rights if you’re turned down. Legally, Immigration NZ doesn’t have to even consider your application – although in practice they consider all applications at least to some degree.
The full range of visas can be granted under section 61. Once you’ve been granted a visa under this section, you have the same immigration status as anyone else who’s been granted that particular type of visa.
