Hello,
My wife has been offered a job in New Zealand as a Pharmacist. We applied for a residence visa. We were informed that we are not immediately eligible as she will need to complete a months registration as a Pharmacist. She has therefore been given a job seekers visa until the registration is complete. We will then be able to complete the residence visa.
Myself and the children will need to apply for visitor/temporary visas until the residence visa can be processed. These visas require return flights to be purchased otherwise entry will be refused.
Will we need to leave the country and re-enter or will they allow us to stay after the months registration?
Thanks in advance.
