Hi all
I am trying to figure out what to do next.
We have applied for our Perm resident visa. They have given my a SMC work visa, (still going to send of the application form)
Any way. so that visa will be in my passport.
How can I get my wife to come with me?
She is from Slovakia (with me in the UK) so can get a 3 month visitors visa when she arrives in NZ. (hopefully) and we are thinking if we do this then we can extend it before it expires. (hope we can)
My questions is, when we land at the airport in Auckland, and they see I have a SMC visa, but my wife has nothing, and will ask for a visitors visa for that 3 months. Will they give it to her?
We will show we have enough cash and outbound flight, (refundable) to support ourselves.
We will say that she is coming to help me look for accomodation and set up a rental place in NZ, then she will fly back out of NZ, and wait till I have got the job offer and we finnish our perm residence visa application.
But of course when she is in NZ, we will be hoping to get her 3 month visitors visa extended for another 3 months or so, so she can stay with me in NZ untill I have completed my 3 months in my place of work and we can apply to get our Perm residence completed, and that way she can remain with me in NZ and not have to fly out?
Or should we apply for a longer visitors Visa for her before we fly to NZ ?
They say that she will need to show evidence that she has sufficient incentives to return to the UK by the end of her visa.
Just trying to find a way she can fly with me and stay with me in NZ till the perm residence visa comes through.
If we got to extend her visitors visa, what do we say for the reson she is staying. or why she wants to extend her visitors visa.
Can anyone comment on this please.
Thank You so much.
