VerifiedThe Immigration department has a very good site with all the information you need at this site:- http://www.immigration.govt.nz/branch/RSBHome/default.htm
Refugee and protection claims are decided by refugee and protection officers (RPOs) in accordance with the Immigration Act 2009, which codifies New Zealand’s immigration-related obligations under the 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees, and the related 1967 protocol, and also the 1984 Convention Against Torture and 1966 Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Broadly stated, these instruments represent a commitment by New Zealand not to send any person to a country in which they face a risk of being persecuted or suffering torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.
Refugee and protection claims may be made in person or in writing by a person in New Zealand. Claims may be made by signalling an intention to claim to a delegate of the Department (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment) including an immigration officer, a refugee and protection officer, a customs officer or a police constable.
