Refugee resettlement strategy

Immigration New Zealand works with others to deliver improved settlement outcomes for former refugees.

  • What the Refugee Resettlement Strategy covers

    The vision of the strategy is to help former refugees and their families achieve their goals and thrive in New Zealand.

  • Refugee quota programme

    New Zealand is one of around 37 countries that take part in the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) regular refugee resettlement programme.

  • Increasing New Zealand's Refugee Quota

    New Zealand is increasing the number of refugees who can settle here. We have been working on projects to support this increase under the Refugee Quota Increase Programme (RQIP).
