Kia Ora everyone!
I am hoping you can help me as I have been to so many places trying to find what should be a relatively simple bit of information. i need to know when is the earliest date I can apply for NZ Citizenship.
1. Granted residency mid-October 2015
2. Granted Permanent Residency mid-November 2017
3. Have only been out of NZ for 4 days in early 2015 BEFORE I applied for Residency.
What is the earliest day I can apply? Do I have to wait 5 years and 240 days? Can I apply in April 2019 or sometime in 2020?
Please let me know as I am confused and no one seems to be able to give me a clear answer.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
