Hi all,
Just a quick question. My South African passport is only valid for 3 years until 2018. I am planning to be in NZ in June 2015.
Should I get a new passport before I leave? Or will 3 years be enough if I want to apply for PR?

No need for a new one yet.
By the way, you're applying for Residence. PR is a different visa that you can only qualify for if you've been living in NZ as a Resident for a minimum of two years.
Thanks JandM,
I do understand the residency application, but eventually it will be for PR after we are there for 2 years. That is the long term goal.
