Hi everyone, my first post!!
I have been granted a Work to Residence Visa (Talent - Accredited Employer). I have a signed contract indicating I will be starting on 24 January 2017. As such I went ahead with my visa application and was issued today. I was not aware that I only have 3 months to enter New Zealand and as such the expiry date is 6 December 2016. BUT, I have booked my flight (with the entire family) only on 12 January 2017.
I have been in contact with Immigration, and they informed me that I will need to apply for a Replacement Visa closer to the time. Can anyone comment on this, since I believe the replacement visa is for when you loose your passport or get a new one.
Thanks,
Dirk
