Important things to note

Should I include all family members in my registration?

Yes. If you have a partner and/or dependent children, all of those people must be included in your registration.

 

Only those people included in your registration may be included in your application for residence under the Pacific Access Category (after your registration is drawn from the ballot).

 

If you have a partner and/or dependent children who were eligible to be included in your registration but were not included, they cannot later be granted residence under Partner or Dependent Child policies of the Family Category.

 

Can I lodge more than one registration?

No. Applicants may lodge (or be included in) only one registration within the registration period. If a registration is lodged that includes any applicants who are already included in a registration that has been accepted by the New Zealand Immigration Service, the subsequent registration will be disqualified.


Will I get my money back if my registration is disqualified?

No. Where a registration is disqualified, the registration fee will not be refunded.


Can I register again if I am not successful?

Yes. If you are not successful, you may register during a subsequent registration period at a reduced fee provided all the same people are included in that subsequent application.
