Situation in Afghanistan

Can UNHCR help me or my relatives leave Afghanistan?

UNHCR is unable to assist Afghans in Afghanistan to leave the country.

Please see UNHCR’s HELP page for Afghanistan. On this page, UNHCR provides links to evacuation programs that have been announced for Afghans by states.

Can I get a visa to go to New Zealand?

Whilst UNHCR exercises a supervisory role over the implementation of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol in New Zealand we are not able to assist with individual visa applications.
