This form is to be used by 2021 Resident Visa applicants only.

If you are in New Zealand you may apply for a variation of conditions to allow you to change your occupation, your employer, your place of employment, or to study part-time.

Immigration New Zealand will be lapsing or returning certain temporary visa applications which cannot be processed due to New Zealand’s current border restrictions. The application fees and levies for these applications will be refunded.

Use this form if you have an invitation to apply for a variation of conditions on your temporary visa because you have a critical purpose for travelling to New Zealand or if you have been nominated by an authorised New Zealand government organisation or agency to travel overseas for a reason of national significance.

Employers and agencies can use this form if they have an overseas worker who meets the ‘other critical worker’ criteria.

If you think your visa is eligible for an extension that is not showing in your Visa Verification record, you can use this form to request a review.

Extensions were issued in December 2020 for certain visas. You can use this tool to check if your visa meets the criteria for an extension. If your partner or dependent holds a visa linked to yours, you can check if their visa is extended too.
