If you do apply and get residency in NZ, being British do you then have dual citizenship?

My wife being a nurse would have now trouble getting PR I assume, but how long could I expect to wait to get my PR?

Thanks again you all!

Being British and having NZ PR, does not give you automatic rights to New Zealand citizenship, I think you are able to apply for citizensphip after a period of 3 years.

Then you would have dual citizenship, and this is allowed and quite common.

I had a flatmate once who had three passports. NZ, British and Canadian. There weren't many places in the world he was not allowed to live in with those three.

If you have PR you are not a NZ citizen - jusy a resident. After 3 years of residency (2 if you marry a kiwi) then you can apply for a NZ passport and then you will have dual citizenship
