Way hey the blue stickers have arrived with all 4 passports..i a little confused about what happens when i get to NZ, it sayes i then have to apply for the residence permit.....where do i do that???/
What does that entail?

You dont have to do anything special, its only a technicality. When you fill in your arrival card you tick the box "Residence permit" or something like that.

When you get to teh front of the queue at immigration/ passport control they stamp you passport with a stamp that says "residence permit".
Thats it really

Ticking the arrival card is technically your "application"

when you sent your passports to NZIS did it cost anything as i know have to post them off to get my stamps

i sent my application fee and migrant levy fee with my ITA ( whih contained my passports)

if you haven't paid your migrant levy yet then you need to send £115 per person up to a max of £460 - once they've processed your migrant levy they'll put the stamps in your passports!

thats good then as i sent migrant levy with ITA, at least i can send my passports tomorrow.
i have never been so excited about blue stamps before
cheers to both of you for your answers
