What are the benefits of New Zealand PR status?

What are the differences between New Zealand’s PR (green card), IRRV (permanent green card) and CS (nationality)? by Jack Liu under Skilled Immigration Recently, bloggers have always asked about the differences between the several immigration statuses in New Zealand, so I will write a separate article here to give a detailed introduction. First of all, we need to understand the difference between residents and citizens, because China is a country with a single nationality and only has citizens; while New Zealand is a country of immigrants. Like other immigration countries, immigration status is divided into: residents and citizens.

New Zealand resident status refers to the right to live long-term or permanently in New Zealand, is protected by the laws of the New Zealand government, and enjoys the rights and obligations of New Zealand residents.

New Zealand citizens, who have become New Zealand nationals, hold New Zealand passports, are also subject to the diplomatic protection of the New Zealand government, and enjoy the rights and obligations of New Zealand citizens
