Character Issues
If Immigration New Zealand identifies a character issue that is preventing you from being granted a visa, we can help you get a character waiver or a special direction.
Character waiver is a decision to waive good character requirements for a person who does not meet them, so Immigration New Zealand can grant him a visa. However, immigration will not consider character waiver requests if you have character issues described in section 15 or 16 of the Immigration Act 2009.
When immigration makes a decision about whether you are eligible to be granted a character waiver, it takes into account things like:
- How long ago the event that created the character issue occurred
- The circumstances surrounding the offence or incident
- Your circumstances, including your ties to New Zealand and reasons for applying for a visa
- The nature of any information falsely provided or withheld during a visa application (if this applies), and whether you deliberately intended to mislead or withhold information from immigration.
These are just a basic requirement or information you need for a Character Issues. For more details, please get in touch with our Licensed Immigration Adviser at VISABOX.
