    Exclamation Transfer PR Visa to New Passport as eVisa

    Hi all and @JandM

    I am a PR holder. My passport recently expired, so I applied for a new passport. Post that, I applied for a transfer of Visa to my new passport through eVisa.

    It has been 2-weeks since I applied for the Visa transfer, and I still have not received any update. I tried checking the timeline for a Visa transfer process, but couldnt find it anywhere

    Please let me know how much time it takes to transfer Visa to a new passport?

    thanks a lot in advance

    Currently, 80% of these applications are processed within 3 weeks.

    Just from my experience, you can call them and request an urgent transfer if you have a genuine reason.

    Has anyone got their PR transferred to their new passport recently and can share how long it took them? I noticed that INZ have removed the processing time info for eVisa transfer. I have just applied for a new passport, which will take 3-4 weeks to arrive. As per INZ customer care, it's taking about a month for eVisa transfer. At that rate, I might not be able to travel overseas in December. My flights are already booked for return to NZ on 22-Dec. Has anyone tried requesting expedited processing and did it work?

    It took 12 days for us when we did it in July. Hope it helps.

    Got my PR visa transferred to the new passport no. Took only 3 days. Submitted the online application in 2-Oct and received the updated visa today.
