Here's a thought.....
Hi,
All good questions.
It could take one, two or more selections to get to 105/100.
Then it could take 2 months to be asked to apply.
I think they do most of the checks in that time.
Then you have 4 months to apply.
You need that for the police/health certificates.
Then they have to check that and stamp your passport with the visa.
Then, as you say, you have 12 months to get to NZ.
In your case, you 'could' be disappointed by it taking less time !
I would think, as long as you have a returning visa (MOST IMPORTTANT !!!), then you can leave for up to whatever they say.
With a work permit started when you enter NZ, lastnig say 2 years, then you'd have some time to get back.
Not sure how long.
Or am I talking b&^% s&^t ?!
Cheers
Steve
