What is a Permanent Residence Visa?

A permanent resident visa NZ allows you to live, work, and study in New Zealand indefinitely with no travel restrictions. Unlike a resident visa, a permanent residence visa gives you complete freedom to enter or leave New Zealand as you wish—making it the ultimate pathway for long-term stability and security. With this visa, you gain rights similar to New Zealand citizens except for voting rights and certain government benefits.

To qualify for a permanent residence visa, most applicants must:

  • Hold a New Zealand Resident Visa for at least 24 months
  • Show a strong commitment to living in New Zealand
  • Meet good character requirements
  • Demonstrate compliance with current immigration conditions
