Hi ChrisMwn,
Thanks for your inforamtion. In every 18 months, they can stay for maximum 9 months, that means for example if my parents come and stayed for 3 months > leave NZ for 3 months > stay NZ 3 months > leave NZ for 3 months > again and again..... normally it is fine. Only flight tickets quite expensive
compare to parent visitor visa, maximum 6 months each time, maximum 18 months in 3 years, they are not big different, only longer single stay period.
