tourist visas
apoligies if this is a bit of waffle but if you get a tourist visa (3 months) and decided to stay longer - you can apply for it extended for 6 months- when the 6 months is up -do you just fly to new zealand for 24 hours come back and do the same all over again - does anyone know if this is possible??

Re: tourist visas
you can get a tourist visa for up to 12mths.
You can get further visa by leaving the country and re-entering, however I am sure immigration would start to get suspicious if this was repeated too often as you intention of being a tourist (and affording so without working) would be in doubt
