Hi there,
I am in NZ on a 23 month WHV which expires on 20th January. I am a UK citizen and would like to stay in NZ to see the summer out before I have to go home! I am also supposed to be presenting at an academic conference in February. I know lots of people who leave for Aussie when their WHV runs out and then re-enter on a visitor visa. I will do this if I have to, but I dont actually want to do a trip to Aussie! and therefore wanted to double check that there is no way of getting the status of my visa changed to visitor without actually leaving NZ??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Gina
