Section 61 Requests

Section 61 Requests

A request for a visa under the provision of Section-61 of the Immigration Act can be made if you are unlawful in New Zealand and are not liable for deportation. A request under Section-61 is at the complete mercy of Immigration New Zealand as they have absolute discretion in such matters. This means that they can refuse to even consider your request without giving any reason for the same.

Case Study 1

In 2023, we were contacted by a client whose student visa and a reconsideration application had been declined. The client had become unlawful, as a result. They were in the final year of their graduation and having become unlawful, they were looking at returning to their home country without completing their qualification.
We submitted a Section-61 request that INZ refused to even consider. We submitted another Section-61 request, which was also not considered. We then contacted the Visa Operations Manager at Palmerston North Branch and explained our client’s situation. INZ asked us to submit another Section-61 request, after which a visitor visa was granted to the client and become lawful again.

Case Study 2

A client contacted us when they became unlawful because they did not respond to a PPI sent by INZ, and their legal representative could not make a good submission in their favor at the Reconsideration stage. We represented this client and were able to convince INZ that they deserved another chance. They were eventually granted a visa and became lawful again.
