Default how long can I leave nz for and still kep my residency
I am pretty sure that if you meet the criteria after 2 years of holding pr ie live in nz, house, pay taxes etc you can apply for an indeffinate resident return visa.

I think the citizenship rule changed to 5 years just recently, but not hundred percent sure on that one, I know it used to be 3 yrs.
