Timeframe to get PR sticker on the passport

[Mr. k]

Hi there any one recently applied for the PR label on the passport, how long they take for that ?
Share your valuable experiences.

Not sure which process you're referring to, as there's two possibilities:

• Resident Visa holder applying for a Permanent Resident Visa (currently, 90% of applications processed in 30 days)
• Transferring an electronic visa to a physical label in a passport (currently, 90% of applications processed in 22 days)

In case you're unaware, INZ issues eVisas nowadays: if one wants a physical label, one can apply only once the eVisa is granted (which is a separate application with its own processing time and fee). See the information about eVisas from INZ here.

Well, in that case, I did this fairly recently (June/July), and it works exactly as advertised: send off form and passport to INZ, payment gets deducted, label gets printed, and passport gets couriered back. Expect 4-5 weeks for all of this to happen.
