Hi,

My partner is from the U.K. and we will be living together soon to eventually apply for a Partnership Work Visa, one concern we had was around the NZeTA she used to visit me earlier this year. She applied for the NZeTA and then visit me for a holiday together in February for 3 weeks, however, she arrived in New Zealand on 30 January 2023, does this mean she has used up an entire 1 month of the 6 month allowance? even though it was only 2 days of January? This also brings me to the same question regarding February, she left NZ on February 17th to fly back to U.K does this mean she has used up the entirety of February too?

I am trying to understand the whole "you are allowed in New Zealand for 6 months" and how they calculate it, it would seem quite unfair to consume a whole month when you're only here for 2 days of that month?

any advice would be appreciated.
