What New Zealand Immigration Act 2009 - INZ and Five Eyes Border Framework requires
The New Zealand Immigration Act 2009 (IA09) is New Zealand's primary immigration statute, consolidating all visa, entry, deportation, and refugee provisions. Immigration New Zealand (INZ), a business unit of MBIE, administers all visa applications. The Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement (TTTA) grants Australian citizens and permanent residents the right to work and reside in New Zealand without a visa, and vice versa. Section 71 of the IA09 deals with mass arrivals, enabling government to declare arrivals unlawful and detain pending processing. New Zealand participates fully in the Five Eyes High Value Data Sharing Protocol. The Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) introduced in 2022 is the primary work visa pathway, requiring employers to hold INZ accreditation. New Zealand's refugee quota is 1,500 per year. Section 342 makes unlawful facilitation of immigration an offence with up to 7 years imprisonment.
