Overview
The government of New Zealand will introduce additional electronic application options for a number of application types beginning at the end of January 2024. These application types include:
- Permanent Resident Visa
- Second or Subsequent Resident Visa
- Variation of Travel Conditions of a resident visa
According to the government, these applications are submitted using paper forms, limiting an applicant’s ability to track the progress of their applications online. Moving to Immigration Online means applicants:
- Can check their application status online without having to call the INZ contact center and
- No longer have to submit physical documents, such as passports, which was a requirement for paper applications.
