Hi there,
I'm a kiwi bloke living in the UK with an english girlfriend of four years. We plan on settling back home in NZ in the next 3-6 months or so. We are also expecting our first child in approx 7 months.
As I understand it UK residents get 6 months on a visitor visa to NZ.
My question is, would she be ok to go to NZ on a one-way ticket with the initial visitor visa while she applies for residence at the same time?
As background, she also has a brother in NZ who's been there for 10 years and is now a NZ resident and married to his kiwi wife.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
