    Default Difference in Start Date in E-Visa & Visa Label - Permanent Residence Visa

    Hi,

    Recently my niece received the Permanent Residence Visa, but there is a Start Date in E-visa was 01/07/19 & in the Visa label is 23/08/19.

    Could you please advise why is that difference in Starting Date?

    Regards
    Cijo

    I've seen this myself, both with my Work Visa and later my Resident Visa (I'm old-school when it comes to visa labels vs eVisas!).

    The start date on the physical visa label is the date when it gets printed off and stuck in the passport, and not the date that the original eVisa was granted. I'm guessing that this is because INZ (or their internal systems) see the physical label as a new visa, rather than a duplicate of the existing electronic one.

    In any case, it's nothing to worry about.
