Unlawful/Section 61 - Assessment & Consultation

A Section 61 request is a request made under Section 61 of the Immigration Act 2009 in New Zealand by an individual who is currently unlawful in the country, or by their legal representative (i.e. licensed immigration adviser) with the individual's consent and authorization, seeking to be granted a legal status. ​

This request is made to the Section 61 team at Immigration New Zealand (INZ) to request a discretionary grant of a visa allowing the individual to become lawful in New Zealand again. 

The granting of a Section 61 request is discretionary, and INZ will consider various factors such as the individual's circumstances and the potential harm to New Zealand society before making a decision.
