145: Cancellation of New Zealand citizen's recognition as refugee or protected person
or “Revoking refugee or protected person status for New Zealand citizens in certain cases”
You could also call this:

“Removing refugee or protected person status for non-citizens”

If you are recognised as a refugee or protected person in New Zealand but are not a New Zealand citizen, a refugee and protection officer can cancel your recognition. This can happen if:

You were recognised as a refugee or protected person under the current law, or under the old law before 1 October 1999, or you were recognised overseas and came to New Zealand under a special programme.

The officer finds that one of the reasons in section 145(b) applies to you.

The officer decides that you are no longer a refugee or protected person.

If your recognition is cancelled, you might have to leave New Zealand. You can appeal this decision. The rules for this are in section 162.
