If your temporary visa application has been declined, you may have the option to request a reconsideration. This process allows you to provide set out errors in INZ’s assessment and clarify information within 14 days of receiving the decision.

NZIL can assist in preparing a strong reconsideration request to enhance the chances of a successful outcome.
