​​New Zealand’s declaration of a State of National Emergency and formal Epidemic Preparedness Notice has activated a range of dormant provisions in the Immigration Act 2009.​ The reactivated provisions include the extension of existing temporary entry class visas and give judges the ability to deal with immigration matters without requiring attendance.
