Re: Specialist required - UK/Aus/NZ visas, pensions and tax affairs.

They've been over almost every year for a month or so at a time, but they would have entered on their NZ passports, and as such, would have got an SCV visa automatically as they entered.

Yes, thanks Pollyana. I'll be contacting Go Matilda soon. When we moved over here I did our PR (136) visa applications myself, but I wouldn't go near the RRV ones now. Reading around them it's just...
