Hi Guys,

Sorry for late reply .
My query is if some one availed the above option to get PR , can he/she explain how they managed to get it? In terms of 41 days stay period of Principal applicant in NZ of every year in two years and the 184 days family stay in NZ before lodging PR application? Which city will be good to buy property?
Do i need to pay the tax while I will work outside NZ and family stay in NZ for 184 days before PR application? Can I mortgage property immediately after landing by showing my off shore financial status?

Best Regards

Manage to sort out?

I tot 41days only apply on 2nd years b4 applying PR only. (For main applicant)

For offshore very difficult, best is spouse work in NZ and apply......joint name may be have better chance...

[HappyBee168]

someone asked me whether if worked first 9-11months on first year but went back to own country for good can still apply for PR right at the end of 2nd year..clocked in 41 days in 2nd year..anyone hv done this b4...

^^ I'm also curious about this.

I know that you don't have to be in New Zealand when you apply, but something tells me if you made it known to INZ that you were back in your home country "for good," that might give them a bit of pause to say the least.

[HappyBee168]

There is this 184 days each of the 2 years.... it seems they are ok with you still at both side so I think should be alright.
