If your New Zealand visa has expired and you are now unlawfully in the country, you may have heard about a Section 61 immigration NZ request. Section 61 allows the Minister or a delegated immigration officer to grant a visa in special cases, but there is no guarantee that a request will be considered or approved. Immigration New Zealand also states that making a Section 61 request does not automatically stop deportation, so it is important to understand your situation and provide relevant supporting information.
