What does Deportation
Mean?
Deportation is the removal of a foreign national from a country
for violating immigration law. If a person remains in New Zealand even after
their visa expires, they become unlawful in the country and thus become liable
for deportation.
The following circumstances may result in the deportation of an
immigrant from New Zealand:
- Involved in criminal cases at the time of holding a temporary visa
- Producing false or misleading information or withholding material information in any previous or current application
- If you pose a threat to the security of the country
- Breaching the conditions of the visa
You may appeal against the deportation liability by following
certain procedures.
What is the
Process of Appeal all about?
One can appeal against deportation from New Zealand only if the
immigrant has the right to appeal to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal (IPT).
Appealing against the liability for deportation will depend on several factors
such as your current circumstances when the liability occurred etc. If the last
visa you held was a Limited Visa, then you do not have the right to appeal.
