New Zealand Residence Permit

That’s me, I am now officially a New Zealand Resident!

Amazingly, the process was waaay quicker than I anticipated and I even got my Passport stamped within 24 hrs of handing it in!  Having been told it may take a year, in the end it took a few months for the process from applying to getting my Passport stamped,… although, of course I am a lot poorer for the process

I am completely baffled about what happens when I leave the country, ..it seems I can’t just come and go without any further paperwork… but having just bought a house we ain’t going anywhere far so I will worry about that another time
