Default How long when you receive your visa
I don't think running out of time will be an issue.
If you have not submitted your ITA yet, the say you submit it in a months time - end of July, although they claim to hope to assign a case officer in 4 months, it can be longer, after that it can take a few months to get a decision (out case took 7 1/2 months from submitting ITA), so supposing you got a decision by november/december
you then have another 6 months to pay the migrant levy and get the stamps in your passports
after that you have another 12 months to get out to NZ for the first time.
After that you have another 24 months to move there permanently

so really counting from now you have 3 years to get there.
