Interpretation of the differences between visas and permits in New Zealand

A major feature of New Zealand's visa system is the visa licensing system, which mainly comes from a written law in New Zealand, namely the Immigration Act (1987), which came into effect on April 2 1. There are two relevant regulations, one is the Immigration Ordinance, which came into effect on August 23rd, 1999, based on Article 150 of the Immigration Statute Law, and the other is the Immigration (Refugee Trial) Ordinance, which came into effect on August 23rd, 1999. So, what's the difference between visa and permit in New Zealand's visa system? According to the New Zealand Immigration Law, all foreign citizens must hold a valid permit in the new territory, except Australian citizens and other exempted categories. They do not need to hold a permit in New Zealand, and once they leave the country, the permit will be invalid. If you want to stay in a new place, you must apply for a new permit seven days before the validity of the permit. Another difference with the Australian visa system is that New Zealand does not have the concept of a bridge visa. However, once a new permit application is submitted, even if the current permit has expired, it will still be regarded as a new legal stay. However, if you apply for going to New Zealand overseas, you will get a visa no matter what kind of visa you apply for. Upon arrival in New Zealand, the visa holder can obtain a permit in line with his visa after filling out a special entry card and showing his passport or travel document. For example, work visa holders can obtain corresponding work permits. Legally speaking, you can't stay in a new legal place without a visa. This is a major feature of the new visa system. There are two main types of visas in New Zealand. One is temporary visa, that is, temporary residence visa. One is a residence visa, that is, a permanent residence visa. Temporary visas mainly include visiting visas, student visas, work visas and transit visas. Residence visas (that is, permanent residence visas) are divided into three categories besides residents' return visas: business, family and technology. Family residence visas include partners (including marriage and homosexual relations), parents, dependent children, siblings and independent children. There are two types of skilled residence: skilled immigrant residence and work visa residence. Business residence visas are divided into three categories: investment, entrepreneurs and employees of relocation companies, which are specially designed for key employees who move their companies to New Zealand. The return residence visa is another permanent resident visa, which is mainly used for people with valid residence permits to return to New Zealand after leaving the country. In addition, New Zealand also has a limited purpose visa, which mainly restricts the types of visas that holders can apply for or attaches other conditions when the license expires.
