Counts come from decisions the tribunal has published and that name a representative we can identify with certainty. Appeals settled, withdrawn or resolved before a decision do not appear, so this is a record of published outcomes rather than of everything a practitioner has done. How matching works is set out in the methodology.

Guides to the situations people most often need representation for, with the deadlines that apply.

Facing deportation from New Zealand - liability, notices and appealsBeing liable for deportation is not the same as being deported: it is the start of a process with strict deadlines, and what you do in the first days matters most. Residents served a deportation liability notice generally have 28 days to appeal to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal; a person who becomes unlawful has 42 days from first becoming unlawful to appeal on humanitarian grounds. The tribunal cannot extend either deadline. In the tribunal's published decisions, 37% of 4,009 decided non-resident deportation appeals and 35% of 536 decided resident deportation appeals succeeded: real prospects, but ones that reward early, well-prepared cases.Read more

Frequently asked questions

Verify the licence first: every listing here shows the immigration adviser's licence number, licence type and how long they have been licensed. Then compare experience with your visa type, and confirm fees in writing before engaging. A current full licence means the immigration adviser can handle any immigration matter; provisional licence holders work under supervision.

Yes. New Zealand lawyers with a current practising certificate are exempt from immigration adviser licensing and can also give immigration advice. What matters is that whoever advises you is either licensed or exempt; anyone else giving immigration advice is acting unlawfully.
