Hi,
I have until Sept 2014 (after 3 years of Residence) before I can sponsor my mum to apply for Residence from the UK.
While it's a long way off, I have been looking at Grandparent/Parent multiple entry visa. I understand it's valid for 3 years, with a total of 18 months to stay in NZ then leave the country once the maximum stay is up.
As time goes on and while she waits for her residency to come through, can she apply for another Parent Multiple entry visa again or it is once a lifetime thing?
Also, she could come here as a visitor visa but it's only up to 6 months - can that be extended?
Cheers,
Claire
