Application procedures for the New Zealand

 refugee program

 

There is no special refugee program in New Zealand. You can, however, apply for a refugee or protected person visa if you intend to seek asylum or protection as a refugee in New Zealand.

  • Ø  You must satisfy the following requirements in order to be qualified for a refugee or protected person visa:
  • Ø  You must be outside of your country of origin.
  • Ø  You must be unable or unwilling to go back to your home country due to a fear of abuse, harm, or persecution there.

Ø  You must adhere to New Zealand law's definition of a refugee or protected person.

You must fill out an application form and submit supporting materials, including identification documents and proof of your fear of persecution or harm, in order to be considered for a refugee or protected person visa. The police clearance certificates from any nation you have been in for longer than six months in the previous ten years must also be shown.

It is advised that you seek the advice of a knowledgeable immigration counsel or lawyer as the application process for a refugee or protected person visa can be complicated.

You can also get support and instructions on the procedure from the New Zealand Immigration Service if you already reside in New Zealand and are applying for asylum or refugee status.
