Eligibility: You must currently hold a valid Global Impact Work Visa, and you must have fulfilled the minimum residency requirements of 30 months in New Zealand.
Things To Note:

Eligibility: You must have held a valid New Zealand Resident Visa for at least 24 months continuously. There are some exceptions for non-principal applicants depending on their situation. You can find more information on these exceptions on the Immigration New Zealand website.
