Before you submit your application you must make the declaration below. Read it carefully and make sure you understand it before making the declaration.

If you have included children in this application and they are aged under 18 then this declaration will apply to them as well. If your partner or children aged 18 years of age or older are included in this application, they must sign a separate declaration form (INZ 1242) which you must upload with this application.

The information you provide must be true, correct and complete
You understand the declaration and information you have provided in your Active Investor Plus resident visa application are true and correct to the best of your knowledge, and will be used to assess your eligibility for this residence class visa category.

You have provided corrections in this form where the information and declaration are no longer true and correct.

You have provided true and correct answers to the questions in this form to the best of your knowledge and uploaded some of the documents required for this application (including any translations of documents that are required). When we start to process your application, you will receive a notification to let you know what additional supporting documents we need from you. The documents you have already uploaded, and those you will provide when requested, are genuine, true and correct to the best of your knowledge, and accurately reflect the answers you have given to questions in this form.

If we have requested information about your family, you declare that you have listed all your family members, including any adopted by custom. You understand that if you do not declare any family members, this may mean that family member is not recognised as part of your family in any future applications by you or by that person.

Any additional information requested will form part of your application. If additional information is requested, and you do not provide it within the timeframes provided, your application may be declined.

You will inform Immigration New Zealand of any relevant fact or change of circumstances that may affect the decision on your application for a visa (including because you may no longer meet the criteria for the visa for which you are applying), or affect the decision to grant entry permission based on the visa for which you are applying.

Examples of matters you should inform Immigration New Zealand about include a change in employment or partnership status, a change in your health, or a new character issue.

You understand that by submitting this application, you are providing information to an immigration officer. You declare that other than any character matters you have already disclosed in this application, there are no matters or warrants outstanding, or investigations of any kind, which could have any current or future effect on the assessment of your good character, or the good character of any other persons listed in this application. If false or misleading information is submitted, including by your agent, your application may be declined without further warning. You may also be denied entry to New Zealand or made liable for deportation. If your visa has already been approved it may be cancelled. It is an offence under the Immigration Act 2009 to provide false or misleading information in relation to a visa application, and you may be prosecuted.

You must only receive immigration advice from a person who is licensed, or exempt from licensing
You understand that if you have received immigration advice from any person, and that person is not licensed under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 when they should be, Immigration New Zealand will not further process your application.
