Volonté de prolonger mon visa mais problème de fumette

I’m in trouble with the police. What will this mean for my work visa?

If you break the law while you’re staying in New Zealand you may become liable for deportation and, provided you’re not required to serve a prison sentence, you’ll have to leave New Zealand immediately.

Drugs

In New Zealand it is against the law to buy, sell, use or possess certain drugs including marijuana, methamphetamine and ecstasy.

Legality

See also: Legality of cannabis by country
Cannabis use is controlled by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975. Possession of any amount of cannabis is illegal and can result in a fine of up to $500 or even a 3-month prison sentence^[6] (though the latter is rarely used). Anyone caught in possession of at least 28 grams of cannabis or 100 cannabis joints is presumed to be a supplier, unless the defendant can prove they are not.^[7][8] However, in R v Hansen [2007], a majority of the Supreme Court held that this presumption was inconsistent with section 25(c) of the Bill of Rights Act, which affirms the right of those charged with an offence to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. They also held that it was not a a justified limitation under section 5 of that Act.^[9] Cannabis is a Class C drug, of which the penalty for dealing can result in a maximum prison sentence of 14 years under the Act. There have been many public campaigns to decriminalise Cannabis but so far none have succeeded. It is generally accepted that the usage rate is high and possession in small quantities may not often be prosecuted. In some cases first offences may not always result in convictions.

The minor Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party has stood candidates since the 1996 election. It had its best result in 1996 when it won 1.66% of the vote.^[10]



In 2006, Green Party MP Metiria Turei's Misuse of Drugs (Medicinal Cannabis) Amendment Bill was drawn from the member's ballot.^[11] The purpose of the bill was to amend the Misuse of Drugs Act so that cannabis could be used for medicinal purposes,^[12] and to permit the cultivation and possession of a small amount of Cannabis by registered medical users or a designated agent.^[13] The bill received a conscience vote at its first reading in July 2009, and was defeated 84–34.^[14] All MPs in the ruling National Party voted against the bill, as did the sole members from United Future and Jim Anderton's Progressive Party; while all members from the Green Party and ACT voted in favour of the bill (other than ACT MP Roger Douglas, who did not vote). The vote was split from MPs in the opposition Labour Party and the Māori Party.^[14]
