Christmas Closedown
It's almost a wrap! The Saunders Immigration team's last official day in the office for 2024 is this Friday, 20 December so best get any last minute queries to us now! We will then be off for the holidays and be back in the office on 13 January 2025.
Speaking of the holiday season, now is a great time to check your passport and travel condition expiry dates, so you don't get caught by surprise at the airport.
This is particularly true for resident visa holders. While a resident visa allows its holder to live in New Zealand indefinitely, the ability to travel in and out of the country lapses after two years. This means that the visa will expire as you depart New Zealand after that point in time, unless you apply for a variation of travel conditions (VOTC) or a permanent resident visa (PRV).
So, if you are looking to travel soon, check your visa and passport expiry dates, plan accordingly, and get in touch if you have any questions or need assistance. The team will be happy to help.
Otherwise, wishing you all a sparkling Christmas and we will see you in 2025!
