Australian PR...does it count in NZ

[colindp]

Hi all,

Currently living in Perth WA and thinking of getting our PR, Wife has suggested that she would like to give NZ another go (we spent two years in Dunedin 05-07), does anyone know if we were to get our Aussie PR if that would also give us PR in NZ. Ikniow that Aussie Citizens can move to NZ without the need for a visa and vice versa just wondered if residency has the same benefits???

Thanks....

"If you are entering New Zealand with
a valid Australian passport, or
a current Australian Permanent Residence Visa, or
a current Australian Resident Return Visa
you will normally be granted a New Zealand residence*class visa*on arrival."
So generally it looks promising!

As a matter of interest, does it work the other way around ??? Kiwi PR and then moving to Aus. Not that I would want to, just interested.
