First of all, congratulations on getting a New Zealand residence class visa, which is a dream of many migrants and the first step to obtaining NZ Citizenship. There will be some travel conditions on your residence visa, which can be removed by obtaining a Permanent Residence visa. Several pathways enable you to apply for a PR visa after holding a residence visa for 2 years. One of the easiest pathways is to physically present in NZ for 184 days. In the two years before your PR application date, you must be in New Zealand for at least 184 days for each year to make full use of this rule. Our 184 Days Calculator is easy to use: just type in when your residence visa was approved, and you will be given the earliest date you can apply for PR, based on periods of residency. This means you will have no doubts around how many days he has remained away from NZ (everything is accounted for), and you are always aligned with the rules of staying in New Zealand the right way.

Whether you are preparing yourself well in advance or simply checking your eligibility, this calculator will give an accurate date for when to execute your PR application. Great if you want to eliminate the chances of delays or mistakes while going from a residence visa to permanent residency. Knowing the exact day you become eligible to apply will enable you to get all your documents in order beforehand, confidently plan travel, and become a PR as quickly as possible.
