I applied for Residency with my partner, and expect to hear back in a few weeks as to who my immigration officer is.
My question is: Does immigration check with the tenancy tribunal regarding bonds? In other words, would they look up my name to see if I am paying bond for a different location than the address I have listed as my home address?
I rented out a room in a flat as my storage area/part-time office, and filled out paper work, and paid a bond. What I did not realize is that, unlike my home country, my bond is held by the government in New Zealand, thus I am now unintentionally registered by the government as living at my office, which I do not.
Does immigration have the right to check with the tenancy tribunal, and/or make a common practice of it?
Do I need to move out of my office? Or contact immigration and tell them that I have an office? Or not worry about it?
Cheers!
