Just trying to get my head around the minutia of the process.
So, the talent visa is a 30 month visa. Does that, as I suspect, run from date of issue or instead the date of entry?
You then have to wait until you've been employed for 24 months to apply for residence. Would that be from date of entry or from 1st day of employment? I know they're probably usually the same, but it's possible we might have a month off when we first arrive.
I'm concerned that if we sort out the WTR visa too early at this end, we might not have long enough to apply for residence at the tail end of the 30 months.
Of course, I'm working through the forums and the NZIS website, but there appear to be some pretty obscure points (like the $90k leapfrog to PR after 2 years working on a WTR visa)!
