These questions are used to check your immigration and criminal records.
Firstly, New Zealand would like to know if you have ever been sentenced to imprisonment or if you have ever been deported from a country other than New Zealand. If you answer “Yes” to any of these questions, you will not be able to proceed with your WHV application.
Secondly, you are asked whether you have ever been charged, convicted or been the subject of a judicial investigation in a country. You will also be asked if you have ever been refused entry to a country or asked to leave.
If you answer “Yes” to any of these questions, you will be asked to state the circumstances of the problems you have encountered. This will enable immigration to determine whether you can enter New Zealand legally on a WHV. The authorities may subsequently ask you for further details.

Hi Pamela,
Thank you for this helpful tutorial! I sent off my application a couple of days ago but am a bit worried that I didn’t receive an email confirmation to say this. I’d previously received an email when I created a log in several months ago. Did you get a confirmation email or do you know if we’re meant to?
Thank you!
Michelle
Hi Michelle, Immigration New Zealand is not the greatest at updating people. Sometimes, people don’t even realize their visa has been approved. The best thing to do is to check your visa status on your immigration profile 🙂
Best of luck,
Pamela
Thank you so much for your reply. I got an email today saying my application has been approved. Yay!
Congratulations!!! Let the adventure begin 😀
