    Do you mean to say, you will take financial obligation for your friends fee and stay?

    2 years from the date of entry or activation of your Resident Permit

    You can take that up even without residency (e.g. a student's parent can while living offshore) and in that context you would be able to do it too.

    Here is the form for reference.

    I read this sentence
    "If you are a New Zealand citizen or resident sponsoring a student, you must be a relative or a friend of the student. "
    on the form so yes you can sponsor
