How long do you get.....

If we get wtr talent visa granted does anyone know how long we get to actually get to NZ? I've heard some say 6 months, some say 3 - any ideas?:confused:

From the Operations Manual-the font of all knowledge;)

Quote:

WR1.5.1 Currency and travel conditions of work visas under the Talent (Accredited Employers) Work Instructions
a. Applicants who are in New Zealand may be granted a Talent (Accredited Employers) work visa allowing stay and multiple entry travel for 30 months.

b. Applicants who are not in New Zealand may be granted a Talent (Accredited Employers) work visa with the following travel conditions:
i first entry to New Zealand must be made within three months of the visa being granted; and
ii the visa will allow stay and multiple entry travel for 30 months from first arrival.

You're a star thank you. I hunted high and low for that! Brain taking in too much info and obviously struggling to retain anything useful at the moment! :ohmy:

Moonie, you have to have worked for two years on a WTR visa before you can apply for residency, not 18 months. If you want to apply earlier then it has to be via the SMC:)
