New Zealand announced that applicants for permanent resident visas will be able to submit applications electronically by the end of January 2024.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Nationals are only eligible for a permanent resident visa after holding a resident visa for at least two years. The start of the two-year period begins upon arrival in New Zealand on the resident visa. Applications for permanent residency will be denied if the applicant has not satisfied the two-year requirement.
BAL Analysis: Employees should check eligibility criteria before applying for permanent residency. The change should improve the application process and ease an applicant’s ability to apply for permanent residency.
