As alert levels drop, some staff will be in most of Immigration New Zealand’s offices receiving and processing priority temporary visa application categories. Please expect some delays.
Panel Physicians may also be operating with some restrictions, expect delays in gaining Immigration Medicals. Panel Clinics in regions operating under Alert Level Three, Step Two can continue Immigration Medical Examinations as long as public health and safety guidelines are followed.
We are redirecting mail to offices outside the Auckland region to ensure applications can be lodged.
Most of our staff continue to work remotely and are focusing on processing online applications. We strongly encourage applicants to use online channels where available.
If Immigration New Zealand asks for more information, scan the required documents and email them to your Immigration Officer.
