    Requesting an Extension from INZ for Document Submission

    Do you ever feel overwhelmed by tight deadlines for immigration applications? You may be surprised that you can request an extension if you need more time to provide the necessary information.

    Immigration Officers may consider granting an extension, depending on your circumstances. However, they are not obligated to do so and it is not guaranteed.

    If you have applied online, you can upload a letter requesting more time and include any supporting evidence as appropriate which explains the delays or shows that you have requested the relevant documents.

    Whatever option you choose, make sure that your application contains all supporting documentation and that it is clear why the additional time has been requested. Providing as much supporting evidence as possible can help ensure that an extension is granted in due course!

    Remember that Immigration Officers take deadlines seriously, so you must act promptly and urgently in seeking an additional time when required!

    If you ever find yourself in circumstances wherein you need advocacy by an experienced Licensed Immigration Adviser that will stand you the best chance of getting a positive outcome on your visa application, please do contact Immigration Advisers New Zealand at contact@nzimmigration.info
