Sometime after having two years of PR (under the old scheme) we have now got the blue stickers which means we can leave and return to NZ indefinitely. I thought it would be nothing really, but I am strangely pleased and it definitely feels like a step closer to our citizenship application

Cheers

Congratulations! We have just received our 1 year 'come and go as you please' and will hopefully get a permanent one next year!

we didn't even know you had to change the thingy in the first place, and off went the better half to home one year, only to get back and be told when she arrived back that she wasn't allowed back in and nor could she work either!

After a bit of screaming she was let in and told in no uncertain terms that she wasn't to work until we had the new thingy stamped and in her passport!

Undoubtedly they'll be stealing the money off of someone else to pay you.
