Hi all,
I and my wife had filed a residency application in which I was principal applicant. Recently our application got approved and we got residence visa. Now to apply for permanent residence visa- “one needs to been in New Zealand as a resident for a total of 184 days or more in each of the two 12-month portions of the 24 months immediately preceding your permanent resident visa application. “
So my queries are:
1. If I stay 184 or more days in first year and 184 or more days in second year and while applying for permanent residence visa I’m outside of New Zealand. Can I still get permanent resident visa or do I need to be in New Zealand for applying PR.
2. If my wife cannot complete 184 or more days stay per year in New Zealand clause, can she still get PR as I’ll be principal applicant in the PR application
Thanks,
