405: Regulations made under Immigration Act 1987 revoked

You could also call this:

“Old immigration rules from 1987 Act no longer apply”

The law says that some old rules about immigration are no longer used. These old rules were made under a law called the Immigration Act 1987. The rules that are no longer used are:

The Immigration (Refugee Processing) Regulations 1999, which were about how to process refugee applications.

The Immigration Regulations 1999, which covered general immigration matters.

The Immigration (Special Regularisation) Regulations 2000, which dealt with special cases for regularising immigration status.

The Immigration (Transit Visas) Regulations 2008, which were about visas for people travelling through New Zealand.

These rules are now cancelled, which means they don’t apply anymore. This change is part of updating New Zealand’s immigration laws.
