Your question has already been answered by Sun777 in the other thread you started (and got locked without giving me a chance to reply... how convenient).
The travel restrictions last for 2 years, after which you have to prove your commitment to NZ in order to be eligible for a permanent residence visa (without travel restrictions). If you leave NZ after your travel conditions have expired, you lose your residence status.
Here's a link, your highness. Hope I haven't offended you again.

May I correct something ,
He could activate his visa and leave New Zealand for 2 years and come back on the day or day before his travel conditions expire and then stay for two years ( without travel conditions ) and apply for permanent resident visa

Considering you arrive in NZ & activate your visa in July 2015, you will have 2 years time to return back i.e. July 2017 (live & work in New Zealand for further 2 years i.e. July 2019 to qualify for Permanent Resident visa)Originally Posted by nyyenz
No, this is required only when you want to apply for Permanent Resident Visa. However in above example, if you plan to travel out of New Zealand from 2017 to 2019, you will have to apply for "variation of travel condition" more information available at this link: http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...quirements.htm
Hope that helps.
