Get ready for a big update! Starting January 29, 2024, the Permanent Resident Visa General (PRV), Second or Subsequent Resident Visa, and Variation of Travel Conditions of a Resident Visa applications will now be processed through the INZ enhanced Immigration Online system.
No more paper applications! From January 29 onwards, INZ will no longer accept paper applications for these visas. If you're eligible and planning to apply for one of these visas before January 29, we encourage you to wait and apply online. Why the change? This upgrade will help INZ handle the increasing number of applications for PRV due to the 2021 Resident Visa applicants becoming eligible. What's in it for you? With the enhanced Immigration Online system, there's no need to send physical documents anymore. Passport and form submission will be a thing of the past. Plus, INZ will be able to process your application faster, and you can easily track its progress online. If you're a 2021 Resident Visa holder, expect an email from INZ to inform you about this change. Please note, specific permanent resident visa products like the Global Impact Permanent Resident Visa and the Afghan Emergency Resettlement Permanent Resident Visa will not be moved to the enhanced Immigration Online system. You can continue to apply for these visas using the relevant paper forms. Source: INZ website

The next Parent Resident Visa Category expressions of interest (EOIs) selection is scheduled for 13 February 2024. If you're thinking about applying, here's what you need to know.
If you're not eligible for the Parent Resident Visa Category, there are other visa options that may be available to you. For example, you may be eligible for a temporary visa or a visitor visa, which will allow you to spend time with your family in New Zealand. |
