For more information about the declaration, see Section Completing Section R: Declaration in the Residence Guide.
I understand that if I make any false statements, or provide any false or misleading information, or have changed or altered this form in any way, my application may be declined, or I may become liable for deportation. I understand the notes and questions in this form and I declare the information given about myself, my partner and any children is true and complete. I declare that I have listed all my family members, including any adopted by custom and my grandparents or legal guardians (if any) if both my parents are deceased, and understand that the non-declaration of any family members may result in that family member not being recognised as part of my family in future applications. I will inform Immigration New Zealand of any relevant fact or change of circumstances that may (i) affect the decision on my application for a visa, or (ii) affect the decision to grant entry permission based on the visa for which I am applying. I am aware that convictions for certain criminal offences committed up to 10 years after first being granted a residence class visa can result in deportation from New Zealand. I declare that there are no matters or warrants outstanding, or investigations of any kind, which could have any current or future effect on the assessment of my good character or the good character of any other persons included in this application. I understand that if I have received immigration advice from an immigration adviser and if that immigration adviser is not licensed under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 when they should be, Immigration New Zealand will return my application. I understand that Immigration New Zealand may provide information about my entitlement to work to potential employers via the online VisaView system. VisaView is authorised by legislation. I authorise INZ to make any enquiries it deems necessary in respect of the information provided on this form and to share this information with other government agencies (including overseas agencies) to the extent necessary to make decisions about my immigration status. I also consent to any organisation providing relevant information to INZ about me. I authorise INZ to provide information about my state of health and my immigration status to any health service agency. I authorise any health service agency to provide information about my state of health to INZ. I accept that any advice given to me by INZ before lodging this application was intended to assist me, and acting on that does not mean that my application for residence will be approved. I understand that in order to work in certain occupations in New Zealand, registration is required by law. I accept that the granting of a residence class visa does not guarantee that registration will be granted. I have sufficient personal resources to maintain myself and my dependants for at least my first 24 months as a resident in New Zealand.
