Changes to Immigration Instructions Pertaining to Myanmar

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.

Her earnest journey as a fully Licensed Immigration Adviser for New Zealand began in 2014, and she considers herself blessed to have the background and the skills that allow her, as an Immigration adviser, to effortlessly visualise herself in her client’s situation, understand their needs and problems, and use her knowledge, experience, and expertise to help find a solution for it.

She is currently on the Board of New Zealand Association of Migration and Investment (NZAMI) and was part of the Immigration Advisers Authority(IAA) referral group for 2016.
