Hi I have a similar question regarding work visa. Say I quit my job and officially cease to be employed today, how many days do I have before I have to leave NZ? I don't intend to stay on in NZ to look for another job but I will need time to sell my car/furniture and settle other personal stuff. Or do I need to convert to a visitor visa? My country is on the visa-waiver list if you are visiting NZ for less than 3 months, does it make any difference?
