Staying in New Zealand after your visa expires is against the law and carries serious consequences. It results in restrictions such as the inability to work, study, or access healthcare. If you overstay for 42 days or longer, you may be barred from re-entering New Zealand in the future. There is also risk of detention and deportation.
Additionally, those who assist you in remaining in the country may also face legal repercussions and put their own immigration status at risk. It is crucial to comply with immigration laws and ensure you have valid authorization to stay in New Zealand.
