Immigration Border Operations facilitates the entry of legitimate passengers and keeps immigration risk offshore by working collaboratively with other teams in INZ and other border agencies. We also ensure risk is managed at the earliest possible point in the immigration process and provide assurance for the immigration system.

Border Officers undertake both pre-arrival and on-arrival functions within Immigration Border Operations. The role is critical not only for managing risk with the large volumes of people that come through New Zealand’s border, but also for creating a positive first impression of New Zealand.

Immigration Border Operations sits within the Border and Visa Operations branch of Immigration New Zealand (INZ), a group within MBIE. Border and Visa Operations play a critical role in ensuring quality and up-to-date visa and border entry decisions. We ensure INZ’s visa decision-making offices (both offshore and onshore), and the border operations function effectively.

Full training will be provided to enable you to carry out these tasks.

We are committed to continuing to partner with iwi in order to find new sustainable solutions to address long standing systemic and cross-cutting issues facing Māori and wider Aotearoa New Zealand and we are also committed to identifying opportunities for iwi to lead and creating an enabling environment for iwi to leverage these opportunities.
