Eligibility Criteria for the Permanent Resident Visa
To be eligible for a Permanent Resident Visa, individuals must have held their resident visa for at least 2 years. For those outside New Zealand when their resident visa was issued, the countdown starts from the date of arrival in New Zealand on their resident visa.
It’s crucial to note that submitting an application within the 2-year period may result in rejection. In such cases, applicants will need to reapply, incurring an additional application fee.
