Good Morning,
My resident visa - Skilled Migrant has been approved on 07 March 2017. As I am planning my move to New Zealand next Year (2018) during May or June, thus I was planning to get my passports stamped accordingly this year in June (as I was given a timeline of 6 months till 07 September 2017 to get it done).
I was not aware and did not find any such information on website that my ONE YEAR countdown will start at the time I received AIP (07th March 2017) or it will be starting when visa will be stamped on passport.
