Complex and declined New Zealand visa cases

Section 61 requests for unlawful status. PPI responses. Reapplying after a New Zealand visa refusal or reconsideration.
This hub explains what Immigration New Zealand usually checks, the evidence that matters, and how we prepare a decision ready file for complex cases.

Choose your situation

    Section 61 special circumstances

Your visa has expired and you have become unlawful in New Zealand. We assess whether a Section 61 request is realistic, then organise the facts and evidence to address INZ’s real concerns under R8.1 and related instructions.

View Section 61

    PPI response

You have received a PPI letter and INZ is considering declining your visa. We map each concern to specific evidence, keep the response consistent with the record, and use INZ language from the Operations Manual so your position is clear.

    Reapply after a refusal and reconsideration

Your New Zealand visa has been refused or a reconsideration has been declined. We read the decision line by line, identify the gaps, rebuild the file, and plan a clean resubmission or reconsideration strategy.

We focus on complex and high risk cases, and all immigration advice is provided by a licensed New Zealand immigration adviser.

How we work

1 Assess

We confirm what is realistic and what is not, based on your immigration history, INZ’s concerns, and the relevant parts of the Operations Manual.

2 Rebuild

We rebuild the case with facts first. Every claim is linked to evidence and aligned with the correct INZ rules and policy terms.

3 Submit and respond

We submit the application only when decision ready. If INZ asks further questions, we respond on point and on time, keeping the narrative consistent.
