If you are unlawfully in New Zealand and unsure about your next step, a Section 61 immigration NZ request may give you another chance to regularise your visa status. This is a special request made to Immigration New Zealand asking them to grant you a visa even after your current visa has expired.
Because Section 61 applications are complex and discretionary, it is important to get advice from a certified immigration consultant who understands the process. A professional adviser can assess your situation, prepare strong supporting documents, and present your case clearly to improve your chances.
