Good day all
I have received a job offer in NZ. And my passport is expiring in 18 months.
I have done my medical test and language test using this Passport and will be using this passport for the essential skill work visa application.
I have also applied for a new passport which takes a few weeks.
The Question is, will INZ only give me a 12 month Visa, due to my passport expiry. If so would it be better to wait for the new passport before applying for the visa, and then would the various test that have been completed be impacted due to me now having a new passport?
According to their website I qualify for a 5 year visa, due to the high skill band requirement. I dont want to wait for the new passport, and hoping that INZ will issue a 5 year visa with my current passport, which I can just transfer to my new Passport later.
Any Advice
Thanks
