Immigration advice for overstayers or people facing deportation

If you are in New Zealand and you have overstayed your visa, this is a serious matter. It is really important that you seek professional legal advice as soon as possible on your options. 

You can be deported from New Zealand because:

• You’re here “unlawfully” (illegally) – for example, if your visa has now expired but you’ve stayed in the country
• You’re here lawfully on a current Temporary Visa or Residence Class Visa, but you’ve done something wrong, like breaking the law (for example, you have committed a driving offence) or you have breached the conditions of your visa (for example, by working when you’ve only got a visitor visa), or withholding relevant information from Immigration New Zealand when you applied for your visa.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be served with a deportation liability notice or a deportation liability questionnaire or a deportation order by Immigration New Zealand. It is vital that you act quickly and contact an immigration lawyer to obtain advice. 

If you are worried about deportation, contact us today for expert legal advice on your options.

Why use an immigration lawyer?

A lawyer has a real edge. Lawyers receive years of full-time training completing their law degrees at university. In the process they develop professional judgement and are taught to: 

• prepare cases
• research complex law
• present supporting evidence, and
• argue persuasively.

A skilfully prepared case increases the chances that an Immigration Officer, a Tribunal or a Judge will make a favourable decision.

In the complex ever changing area of immigration law, experience, knowledge and judgement can make all the difference.
