C3.10 Making a subsequent claim to refugee or protection status

A subsequent claim is a claim for refugee or protection status made by a person who has previously made a claim of any kind for refugee or protection status in New Zealand, whether under the Immigration Act 2009 or the Immigration Act 1987, which has been finally determined. A claim has been finally determined once the expiry of any appeal period relating to the decline of refugee or protection status has expired, or an appeal that was lodged has been determined.

A subsequent claim is made in the same manner as a first claim for refugee or protection status.
