Residency to permanent residency

[jb91]

Hi people.

I’m back again, last time I was on here was when I was granted my residence visa 2 years ago. So many helpful people on here and always useful to read through the threads.

Excuse me for asking what might seem like a silly question but what’s the form number or name for me to get my PR sorted out? I’ve found 2 different ones and I’m very confused as to which one I need to do. Immigrations website isn’t the best when using your phone.

Appreciate your help

Hey jb91,

I have just applied for PR and I used form INZ1175 "Application from a former Resident or Former Resident Visa Holder - for a permanent resident visa, second or subsequent resident visa, or variation of travel conditions"

Good luck!

I just got my PR in November, and I also used the INZ1175. Additionally, I submitted INZ1023, "Application for Transfer or Confirmation of Visa" to get a sticker rather than an eVisa.

Thanks guys much appreciated

this helpful... what are the requirements to be granted a permanent resident?

[TheNewKiwi]

The criteria are listed on the INZ website here: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...-resident-visa

These two pages are probably clearer to understand. https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...anent-resident and this https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...zealand/slider, which shows the five possibilities from which you have to choose ONE to show commitment to NZ (most people use the first).
