Visitor visa and EOI

[Tam]

Hi

Hopefully someone can kindly answer my query.....
My Mum has completed a EOI but temporarily here on a visitor visa. When the visitor visa runs out how long does she need to leave the country before returning on another visitor visa whilst she waits for her EOI decision?

Thanks

It depends on how long she has already been in the country as a visitor. For ordinary visitor's visas, see 'How long can I stay?' here http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...isit/visitors/

If she hasn't already had one, she might like to look into the parent/grandparent visa. http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...tors.htm#aid17 Some people find advantages in that, depending on their situation.
