+xMy daughter lives in NZ and I am planning to travel for a month in NZ then stay with her . I went to the Philippines to visit my boyfriend there in February 17 (yes I am gay),but I was refused entry just 8 weeks later for some unknown reason. Note: I am on the SOR for looking at teen boys online. Anyway, I have written about this before, but now I see the Entry Boarding Card asks if I have been refused entry to any country, which I have. Its clear on my passport, but what are the likely implications of admitting this?
All I want is to travel with a tour company then visit my daughter.
Would my refusal of entry history be logged electronically on a system ?
Please help me understand this.
Officially, you will need to apply for a visa and a good character waiver as the rules mean no visa if you have been excluded from any other country (Unlock has more information here
https://hub.unlock.org.uk/knowledgebase/travelling-new-zealand/). If the Philippines have excluded you, I can only think that your PPU must have notified them (maybe via an Interpol green notice). The fact that they refused you entry would not be available electronically to other countries. However, if the reason for the refusal is linked to the PPU or Interpol notices, that information would be shared with others.
In reality, I suspect there is a big stamp in your passport showing you were excluded from the Philippines so if you didn't admit this on the boarding pass you're running an enormous risk that the border officer doesn't see the stamp when he flicks through your passport pages.
You could discuss with your PPU and if they see you as low risk, ask if they would support your visa application on family grounds?
