Hello Dear as my resident visa going to expire in November this year BUT as I have condition 49 on resident visa so I could not remove this condition because as I started study after residency and going to start job again in May 2021 this year I will be able to fullfil condition 49 after my resident visa expire just want to know should I apply for second subsequent resident visa or not because I will complete 12 months employment in same occupation or should I direct apply permanent resident visa .

Your resident visa does not expire. It's only the "travel conditions" - the name for permission to re-enter NZ freely -which last just two years. While you are in NZ, your residence lasts forever (unless, remembering your recent posts about your driving charge, the authorities ended it). That means that, unless you intended to leave the country, you would have the right to continue living and working onshore until you complete the conditions for having your Section 49(1) conditions removed. And you have to have fulfilled the conditions before you have the right to apply for PR (as it says here https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...anent-resident, "have met any conditions of your Resident Visa").

Immigration instructions pertaining to a second or subsequent Resident Visa only applies to a person who held, or was deemed to hold, a Resident Visa that expired due to the holder leaving New Zealand after the expiry of the travel conditions, or was outside New Zealand when the travel conditions expired. See RV4.5.
A resident visa does not expire while its holder remains in New Zealand (see RA1.1: the holder of a Resident Visa may stay in New Zealand indefinitely once granted entry permission). If you have Section 49(1) conditions which you have not met, you are ineligible for a Permanent Resident Visa (due to RV2.5(d) not being met), but you may apply for a variation of travel conditions under RV3 which will extend the period of time in which you may travel outside New Zealand and return as a resident.
If you are currently in New Zealand, the advice you have received regarding a second or subsequent Resident Visa is therefore totally incorrect. Find a better lawyer.
EDIT: All of the above is also covered in the INZ 1176 factsheet. I suggest getting your so-called "lawyer" to read it thoroughly.

The present regulations don't state this clearly - whether work done while holding a work visa before the resident visa was granted can count towards fulfilling the time mentioned on the condition. https://www.immigration.govt.nz/opsmanual/#66848.htm
In your position, I would ask INZ to clear the question up for you.
