I think you have up to 6 months to pay this (not sure) then your visa is valid for 12 months from when it is issued (migrant levy paid). That means you have to activate it within 12 months - you could just visit NZ for a few days and then leave if you weren't able to stay.

HTH
Hi Nicky

So, are you telling me that just to activate my PR, I can move to NZ for few days and can come back. Will then I would be able to move to NZ anytime afterwards... say 2 or 3 years...

If this is so, it is more than i wanted...

Keep Cool
Max
