Broadly speaking, you will have to arrange to pay the Migrant Levy, and send in your passport(s) to have the blue stickers put in. You have six months to do that, from the date of notification. Then, from the date on the visa, you have a year before you must have activated it, by presenting it to be stamped at Immigration at the airport upon arrival in NZ.
