What is a Residence Permit?

1 Answer

Every time a person with a valid Residence Visa or RRV enters New Zealand, they are given a Residence Permit. That permit entitles the holder to remain in New Zealand, indefinitely. That person will always be in New Zealand legally, whether their RRV is valid or not, and whether they are the holder of a valid passport or not. The Residence Permit expires when the person leaves New Zealand. That person will only be able to re-enter New Zealand if they hold a valid RRV.
