Does the PR offer expire?

If you get an offered PR, does it expire?

Do you have to take up the offer within a certain time frame?

Thanks,

Kari

hi Kari, when you get approved in principle for a PR you get 6months to pay the migrant levy and thats basically when you get the 'stickers' in your passport. After this you have 12months from the date they were put in your passport to land in NZ and validate them. I think you can go on a hol to do this and then have 2yrs to return once back in the Uk. Someone else may be more clued up on that part but thats how i understood it!!?
