New Zealand law explained for everyone
You commit an offence against the Immigration Act 2009 if you pretend to be an immigration officer or a refugee and protection officer when you are not one. This means if you act like you are one of these officials, but you don’t actually have that job, you are breaking the law. It’s important to be honest about who you are and not try to fool others by saying you have a role that you don’t really have.
