Hi there,
We are nearly ready to send off our SMC residency visa application in the post. We have a plastic wallet containing all our evidence, including original birth certificates, and our passports. I am slightly nervous about sending it off in the post, but I assume this is what everyone does? I've had a read through our checklist and the info that was sent to us, but can't see anything where it says how soon they will return our original documents. And also, what is the best way to actually post such an important package! I'm not familiar with NZ post, so would be keen to hear what other people did with this bit.
Did you slip in a piece of paper with the application requesting that the original documents be sent back by post, and if so do we need to include and envelope with our address on it? Doesn't mention this where I have looked, so just wanted to double check.
Many thanks for any help. Nearly there!!
