Re: Looking for advice regarding a potential family move to Australia
Yes, although any who arrived in Aus before Feb 2001 and stayed have PR.
I was referring to their visa status. They may be able to stay in Australia indefinitely, but every time they return to NZ their visas are cancelled, they then have no visa for Australia at all, and they get given a new one when they return.
This doesn't happen to people with PR, and it's an important difference, quite apart from the day-to-day items.

I know many kiwis live here happily on long term temporary visas, but the fact is that they are still temporary, and that needs to be made clear to anyone contemplating it as a migration pathway.
