Changes to Immigration Instructions Pertaining to Myanmar

February 3, 2022

Immigration New Zealand has made some amendments to the immigration instructions effective 1 February 2022.  This has been done to impose further travel bans on people who were responsible for 2021 military coup and related human rights violations in Myanmar.

This includes persons who wholly or in part meet the following criteria:

• hold membership in the State Administrative Council and/or
• were instrumental in the February 2021 military coup and/or
• were or have been responsible for the violent suppression of peaceful anti-coup protestors and/or
• were responsible for other human rights violations, including those against the Rohingya, prior to the coup.
