Hi everyone,

I am reaching out to see if someone is on the same boat with me.

I used the presence calculator and get response with error code 213 which is bizzar. According to the presence calculator formula, only step 1 or step 3 will give error 213, impling either I don't have residency visa or I have not been NZ ever since I got my residency.

For context:
I got my residency on 3rd July 2018, and my travel movement as follows:
1. 17 March 2023 -> 16 March 2022, 365 days (no travel)

2. 17 March 2022 -> 16 March 2021, 365 days (no travel)

3. 17 March 2021 -> 16 March 2020, 366 days (no travel)

4. 17 March 2020 -> 16 March 2019, 365 days (no travel)

5. 17 March 2019 -> 3 July 2018, 257 days - 14 days overseas = 243 days

Departure 31 July 2018, Arrival 07 August 2018 &
Departure 01 Oct 2018, Arrival 07 Oct 2018

I have total 1703 days within 5 years with each year reside more than 240 days in NZ.

I have asked friends who are not met presence requirements, all their response code is either 216 or 211. non of them is 213.

I have called INZ and confirmed my visa, also called citizenship office but they asked me to just wait until it's eligible.

I don't think the error code will change based on my knowledge even wait until my 5th anniversary. Should I just apply and go through the manual processing?
