Addresses for receiving centres outside New Zealand.

Our office in New Zealand.

We have different processes for making a complaint or giving feedback, depending on what the complaint involves. Whether it is a complaint about a matter handled by Immigration New Zealand, a Visa Application Centre or a licensed immigration adviser.

You can report any immigration offence eg. exploitation, overstayer, illegally working to us directly or go to Crimestoppers.

You are able to ask for the information we hold about you and have any of it corrected if you think it is necessary.

Immigration New Zealand media queries should be sent to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) media line.

For information on all New Zealand Government organisations and departments, you may visit New Zealand Government Online. This site provides links and information for all government, local government, crown agencies, health and education institutions.

If you need personalised immigration advice, you must use a Licensed Immigration Adviser or a person exempt from licensing.
