Hello, Me and my husband are currently living in Wellington under a Visitors visa, We are from Spain, so we hadn't need to apply for the visitor visa in our arrival.
The limit for us to leave the country is on April 30th, we want to stay more time, but not for sure yet. My question is, If we apply for the extension for three months more, How long could be the process until We will get it? I mean, Which could be the reasonable day to submit the application and get it approved before the end of this month?
Is it true that If we leave the country, for example to visit Australia for a week, and return to New Zealand. At the arrival we have three new more months without the need to apply for the extension?
Thak you.
