    1. You have spent enough time in New Zealand
    You have been in New Zealand as a resident for a total of 184 days or more in each of the two 12-month portions of the 24 months immediately preceding your permanent resident visa application. You do not have to provide any extra evidence, other than your passport(s).

    Yes, you have to wait. http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...quirements.htm At the top of the page, you will find this (my bolding).

    To be eligible for a permanent resident visa (PRV), the principal applicant in your original residence application must:

    hold a resident visa, or have held one in the last three months
    hold, or have held, that resident visa for at least two years continuously
    have met any conditions that your resident visa was subject to under section 49(1) of the Immigration Act
    meet relevant character requirements, and
    have met one of five commitment to New Zealand criteria set out below.
