1) If the application process takes longer than expected can we still head out in December with me entering NZ on a visitors visa (which lasts 6 months) and get the visa from the embassy in NZ?
2) We have been trying for a baby and in light of the recent news about pregnant temporary residents being sent home to have their babies we were wondering if it might be a good idea to wait in case we are successful and I end up being 6 months pregnant when I arrive and they don't let me into NZ. Could this be a problem anyway as it now says that being pregnant is no longer considered appropriate standard of health...(although I've had my medical already)?
Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated  |
Hi there,
as far as I know NZ is one of the few countries in the world where you can apply for a visa from WITHIN NZ, so your first question shouldn't be a problem.
With the second question, I'm sorry I've not come across that situation before. If what you say is correct i.e. about sending temp residents home to have a baby and 'appropriate standard of health etc' then if I were you, I'd wait until the baby was born.
Just my opinion. I emigrated to NZ from UK in 1997 and now live in Australia (for last 7 years)
Sorry I can't be more help!
