Visitor's Visa Reqts

Plano namin na isama sa NZ ang mother-in-law ko para naman di ako mahirapan sa pagdala kay Vince and Shannen sa eroplano (Henry will go ahead of us). Kung nandon na sya, pwede rin akong magtrabaho to augment the family income. Kaya kanina, pumunta ako sa NZ Embassy sa Makati to get the requirements for Visitor's Visa. May mga requirements ang embassy sa Pinas na wala sa website ng NZIS.

Ito po ang akin nakalap.

Hi Jinkee, sa visitor, may idea ka ba ilang months ang maximum allowable stay sa NZ?

jinkee said...

So 9 months pala ang max. Sana ma-approve yung visa ng mom-in-law ko para naman di kami mahirapang mag-settle.

kapag andito na si henry at may tirahan na at trabaho, madali ng makapunta si MIL mo. dun pumapasok ang number 6 (sponsorship form). kung hindi ako nagkakamali kailangan pang magpamedical ngayon ang lahat ng nag-aaply ng more than 3 months visit.
