Read our privacy statement. Privacy

I have read and understood the Immigration New Zealand (INZ) Privacy Statement.
I have provided true and correct answers to the questions in this form.
I understand that this expression of interest is an official submission to INZ and any information included in this submission may be used when considering my current or future applications.
I understand that if false or misleading information is submitted, INZ may decline my expression of interest or any resulting residence application, I may also have no right of appeal in relation to that application or become liable for deportation, and I may also be committing an offence.
I declare that I have provided all required details about family members, including if applicable, my partner and any dependent children (including any adopted by law or by custom), and understand that the exclusion of required details about a family member may result in that family member not being recognised as part of my family in future applications, my application being declined, or that I may become liable for deportation.
I will inform INZ of any relevant fact including any material change of circumstances (for example a change in my employment or partnership status) that may affect a decision to issue an invitation to apply or to grant a visa.
I declare that there are no matters or warrants outstanding, or investigations of any kind, which could have any current or future effect on the assessment of my good character, or the good character of any other persons included in this expression of interest.
I understand that if I have received immigration advice from an immigration adviser and if that immigration adviser is not licensed under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 when they should be, INZ will not further process my expression of interest.
I consent for INZ to make necessary enquiries about information on this form and accompanying documentation, and to share this information with other government agencies (including overseas agencies) to the extent necessary to make decision about my immigration status. I also consent to any organisation providing relevant information to INZ about me.
I authorise INZ to provide information about my state of health and my immigration status to any health service agency. I authorise any health service agency to provide information about my state of health to INZ.
I accept that any advice given to me by INZ before expressing interest and submitting this form was intended to assist me and acting on that does not mean that any later application for residence will be granted.

Yes, I agree
