An Immigration Form is an official document you need to complete when entering, staying in, or leaving New Zealand. These forms help Immigration New Zealand process your visa applications, track your movements, and manage your immigration status. Common examples include arrival cards, visa applications, and work permit requests.

Each form serves a specific purpose under the Immigration Act 2009 and collects essential information about your identity, travel plans, and reasons for being in Aotearoa. Most forms are available online through the Immigration NZ website, though some situations still require paper submissions. Getting these forms right is crucial - mistakes can delay your application or affect your ability to stay in the country.

You need to complete Immigration Forms any time you plan to enter, stay in, or leave New Zealand. This includes applying for tourist visas, work permits, student visas, or permanent residency. The specific form depends on your situation - for example, skilled workers need the Work Visa Application, while students use the Student Visa Form.

Time your Immigration Form submissions carefully. Most visa applications take several weeks to process, so submit them well before your intended travel or current visa expires. Key moments include: planning overseas study, accepting a job offer in NZ, bringing family members to live with you, or extending your current visa status. Early submission helps avoid visa gaps or rushed processing fees.

Immigration Forms and Immigration Requests serve different purposes in New Zealand's immigration process. While both relate to immigration matters, they have distinct roles and applications.

• Legal Status: Immigration Forms are official government documents required by Immigration NZ for visa processing, while Immigration Requests are informal documents used to initiate immigration-related inquiries or services.
• Purpose and Timing: Forms are used for direct visa applications and status changes, while Requests typically precede formal applications to gather information or seek preliminary guidance.
• Processing Requirements: Immigration Forms need specific supporting documents and fees, while Requests can be more flexible and exploratory.
• Legal Implications: Forms create binding obligations and legal status changes, while Requests don't typically carry direct legal consequences.
• Documentation Level: Forms require comprehensive personal and legal information, while Requests often need only basic details to start a conversation.
