Australian citizens and permanent residents-澳大利亚公民和永久居民-飞出国

新西兰移民局定义的“澳大利亚公民和永久居民”是持有以下身份或签证的人:

  • 澳大利亚公民身份,
  • 当前的澳大利亚永久居留签证,或者
  • 当前的澳大利亚居民回程签证。
    不包括临时签证持有人。
    澳大利亚公民和永久居民到新西兰旅行的签证要求
    澳大利亚公民和永久居民到新西兰旅行一般不要求签证,除非该人有Sections 15 and 16 of the Immigration Act 2009描述的严重的品质问题。

持有合法护照进入新西兰的澳大利亚公民和永久居民在机场收到一个 resident visa,允许他停留在新西兰。

获得resident visa的流程是先完成“New Zealand Passenger Arrival Card”并且同护照或者旅行证件一起交给移民官。Resident visa在机场发放,是电子的,意味着护照上不会有盖章或者标签。

Resident visa允许持有人无限期在新西兰学习和为任何雇主工作,但是一旦离开新西兰,签证则为届满失效。

进入新西兰需要的证据:

• 所有旅客应该都有各己的有效的护照/旅行证件。
• 所有儿童在父母的护照/旅行证件背书的都需要有出自本国的介绍信声明不能获得护照的原因。
• 显示澳大利亚公民背书 (无论是带有标签或确认函) 的任何外国护照可视为澳大利亚公民身份的证明。
• 作为在澳大利亚永久居留签证或澳大利亚居民回程签证持有人,在大多数情况下不需要护照的物理标签,因为新西兰移民局将承认已以电子方式发出的澳大利亚永久居留签证。

Australian citizens and permanent residents
Immigration New Zealand defines an “Australian citizen and permanent resident” as any person who holds:

  • Australian citizenship,
  • a current Australian Permanent Residence visa, or
  • a current Australian Resident’s Return visa.
    This does not include holders of Australian temporary or provisional residence visas.

Visa requirements for Australian citizens and permanent residents traveling to New Zealand
Australian citizens and permanent residents do not usually require a visa for travel to New Zealand, unless they are a person with significant character issues as described in Sections 15 and 16 of the Immigration Act 2009.

Provided they enter New Zealand on a valid passport, Australian citizens and permanent residents will normally be granted a resident visa at the airport to stay in New Zealand.
An application for a resident visa is deemed to be made by completing the “New Zealand Passenger Arrival Card” and giving this to an immigration officer together with a passport or travel document. Resident visas granted at the airport are electronic, meaning you will not be given a stamp or label in your passport.

This resident visa allows the holder to remain indefinitely in New Zealand, to study, and to work for any employer, but it will expire upon exit from New Zealand.

If you intend to stay in New Zealand long term, you may decide to apply for a permanent resident visa (PRV). If you plan to apply for a PRV, your resident visa must be endorsed with travel conditions to ensure that it does not expire when you leave New Zealand.

Evidence required upon entry to New Zealand:

  • All travellers should have their own valid passport/travel document.
  • All children endorsed in parents’ passports/travel documents need to have obtained a letter from their country of citizenship which states the reasons for not owning their own passport//travel document.
  • Any foreign passport showing an Australian Citizen Endorsement (either with a label or a confirmation letter) may be accepted as evidence of Australian citizenship.
  • For holders of an Australian Permanent Residence or an Australian Resident’s Return visa, a physical label in the passport is not required in most cases as Immigration New Zealand will recognise Australian permanent resident visas that have been issued electronically.

澳洲移民去新西兰定居生活是很方便的,但中途离开新西兰就会很麻烦(but it will expire upon exit from New Zealand),必须要满足 travel conditions 才可以。

希望居住比较灵活并且保留新西兰身份需要满足条件后申请新西兰 permanent resident visa (PRV)。申请 PRV 的前提是已经在新西兰持有 RV 24 个月并且该 RV 签证失效没有超过3个月,并且同时满足下面5个条件中的最少一种。

If you plan to apply for a PRV, your resident visa must be endorsed with travel conditions to ensure that it does not expire when you leave New Zealand.

To apply, you must have held a New Zealand resident visa for at least 24 months continuously.

You’ll also need to have a current resident visa (or one that hasn’t expired more than 3 months ago).

If you were the principal applicant of the original residence application, you can obtain a Permanent Resident Visa if you:

  • have held your resident visa for at least two years, and
  • have met any conditions of your Resident Visa, and
  • have shown a commitment to New Zealand in one of the five ways that meet our requirements.

Commitment to New Zealand

To be granted permanent residence, you need to show us you’re committed to living in New Zealand permanently.

There are five ways you can show us your commitment to living in New Zealand permanently. We need to see evidence of at least one of them.

Acceptable evidence of your commitment to living in New Zealand

1. You have spent enough time in New Zealand

You have spent 184 days or more in New Zealand as a resident in each of the 2 years before you apply for permanent residence.

Evidence

We’ll check our records of your travel movements.

2. You have New Zealand tax residence status

You are a tax resident in New Zealand if you:

  • have been in New Zealand as a resident for 41 days or more in each of the two 12-month portions of the 2 years before you apply for permanent residence, and
  • are assessed as having tax residence status for the 2 years before you apply for permanent residence.

If you have tax residence in another country, even if it’s one that New Zealand has a Glossary for double tax agreement with, you can’t use your tax residence status there to show your commitment to New Zealand.

Evidence

Either:

  • a statement from Inland Revenue
  • a completed Confirmation of Tax Resident Status endorsed by Inland Revenue.

We will need to see both:

  • a set of your latest business accounts certified by a New Zealand chartered accountant
  • a letter or email from a New Zealand chartered accountant confirming that your business is a Glossary for going concern.

You have established your base in New Zealand by having:

  • lived in New Zealand as a resident for at least 41 days in the year before you applied for permanent residence
  • and everyone else included in your residence application has been living in New Zealand for at least 184 days in the 2 years before you applied for permanent residence

You must also have either:

  • Purchased a home 12 months before or after becoming a resident, still own that home and live there now, or
  • worked full-time in New Zealand for 9 months or more in the 2 years before you applied for permanent residence.

  • mortgage documents
  • rates demands
  • home insurance papers
  • household bills e.g. power, phone.
Evidence of employment
  • an employment agreement
  • pay slips
  • confirmation from your employer.

If you work for commission and/or a retainer, you can’t use your employment to show you have an established base in New Zealand.

  • documents showing you are actively involved in running the business.
