L3.5 When limited visas may not be granted to temporary visa applicants

If a person applies in the prescribed manner for a temporary visa, an immigration officer may not grant a limited visa instead of the temporary visa applied for if:

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