L4.10 When limited purpose visas may not be issued to temporary visa applicants

If a person who is outside New Zealand applies in the prescribed manner for a temporary visa, a visa officer may not issue a limited purpose visa instead of the temporary visa applied for if:

  1. the application for a temporary visa can be approved under normal temporary entry policy; or
  2. issuing a limited purpose visa cannot manage the risk that the applicant may remain in New Zealand after their permit expires; or
  3. there is no express purpose associated with the applicant's proposed visit to New Zealand.

Effective 01/10/1999
