Hi Folks, and especially to @JandM
I received my resident visa in early 2015.
Due to some personal emergency, I had to leave NZ for a couple of months, before getting my PR.
I have already completed all the mandatory requirements for PR:
If you were the principal applicant of the original residence application, you can obtain a Permanent Resident Visa if you:
- have held your resident visa for at least two years, and
- have met any conditions of your Resident Visa, and
- have shown a commitment to New Zealand in one of the five ways that meet our requirements.
You have spent enough time in New Zealand
You have spent 184 days or more in New Zealand as a resident in each of the two 12 month portions of the 24 months immediately preceding your application for permanent residence.
To get Resident Visa to PR, I need to get the stamping done at the end of 2-year of first entry into NZ; but I am not able to go to NZ for next few months.
Please let me know the following:
- Can I get my PR stamping done outside NZ?
- Will me not being present in NZ affect my PR ?
Please provide your inputs if anyone has gone through a similar situation?
