📋 Immigration Act 2009 (visa, entry and deportation framework)

← All policies

Replaced the Immigration Act 1987 with a full rewrite of how visas, entry decisions, deportation and detention work in New Zealand - including combining several separate appeal bodies into one Immigration and Protection Tribunal. Introduced under the Labour government in 2007, passed under the incoming National government in 2009 after that year's election, with broad support under both.

90% support in the most recent vote
