64Cancellation of visa on triggering event
A visa is cancelled in the following circumstances:
- on the deportation of its holder from New Zealand:
- on the day after the first date on which a deportation order may be served on the person under section 175A, whether the visa was issued before or after this paragraph came into force:
- on the refusal of entry permission to its holder:
- on entry permission granted to its holder being revoked:
- if the holder arrived at an immigration control area,—
- on the holder leaving the immigration control area without presenting himself or herself to an immigration officer; or
- on the holder failing to comply with the instruction of an immigration officer to remain in the area:
- on the holder leaving the immigration control area without presenting himself or herself to an immigration officer; or
- if the holder arrived at a place other than an immigration control area, on failing to present himself or herself in the prescribed manner and within the prescribed time as required under section 103(1)(b):
- on the start date of a further visa granted to its holder:
- on the grant of New Zealand citizenship to its holder:
- on the registration of New Zealand citizenship by descent under section 7(2) of the Citizenship Act 1977 by its holder:
- on the issue of an evidentiary certificate under section 21 of the Citizenship Act 1977 that confirms the holder is a New Zealand citizen.
Despite subsection (1)(f), the grant of a temporary entry class visa to the holder of a residence class visa does not cancel the residence class visa unless the grant of the temporary entry class visa was made under section 68.
To avoid doubt, if a person’s visa is cancelled under subsection (1)(ab), the grant of a new visa to the person does not cancel the person’s liability for deportation.
