work permits
 
Hi not sure what to do. Son in law looks like he might lose his job, he is on a work permit, whats happens to him, will he have to go back to Uk or can he stay here.

I'm not 100% sure but I think once the job ends (the one named on the permit) he has to leave.

You could always call NZ Immigration on 09 914 4100 (option 6 - press it as soon as they start giving you options as she speaks slowly) and ask them - they've always been extremely helpful when I've needed to call them :)

Good Luck

Michelle

No worries. What a sad situation :( How long have you had your residency? Could you sponsor him to stay? That is if you're eligible to.

Hi thanks Michelle I'm sure we've spoken before, we've been here for 2 1/2 years daughter and son in law 1 yr. My husband Rob has also just started a heat pump business, but there is not enough work to earn a living from yet. It will take a while to get it running as a full time business

We quite possibly have, but my mind is more and more like a sieve each day... :lol:
