Hi All, It may be a silly question but really i could not find an answer till now. My question is: when we can claim for citizenship since our first arrival to NZ which activates 2 years residency?
i am now planning to move on april as a SMC (my first enrty), i believe after two years from first entry i will have the rights to remove the condition travels and get PR. BUT after that, hiw many years should i spend to claim the citizenship? Is it 3 years after the 2 years of firat entry, then the total will be 5 years or 5 years after i get the PR so it will be after 7 years of the first entry??
