Silly question

[Nonie]

:icon_eek: icon_exclaim.gif This is probably a silly question but I'm going to ask anyway. I will be travelling to NZ on a holiday visa with my NZ husband and apply for residency when we get there. Should we have return tickets?

I think its the same as the working holiday where you either need a return ticket or evidence of funds to purchase one.

Hi,
I don't think it's a silly question at all.
Hey, Taffy, you beat me to it !

I don't think the fact that your husband is a Kiwi makes a difference until you are recognised by NZ.
The options often quoted are:
1) Return ticket. Make sure the return part is refundable !!!
2) Get a waiver with your visa (you will need to prove that you can afford to purchase the return ticket. You may need the funds in NZ).
3) Get a onward ticket to Aus. This could be iffy, because they will question your right to enter Aus on a single ticket !!!!

I would try option (2). Ask them, given your situation, for a waiver.

Concise Taffy beats woffly Steve !!!!

Please let us know what happens, so we can give the best advice, based upon fact.

Cheers

Steve

Cheers Guys. I'll probably go for option 2 then. Thanks a lot.
