If your visa is expiring soon, it is important to act quickly. There is no formal “visa extension” process in New Zealand — you need to apply for a new visa before your current one expires.
What You Need to Do
- Contact an immigration adviser as early as possible
- Gather your documentation from your original visa application
- Apply for a new visa before your current one expires
- Provide updated character and health certificates if required
What Happens If Your Visa Expires?
If you stay in New Zealand after your visa expires, you are unlawfully in the country. This can lead to deportation, entry bans, and serious consequences for future visa applications. If you find yourself in this situation, a Section 61 request may be an option.
