Which Commonwealth countries can New Zealand immigrants (not naturalized) visit without a visa?

Combine the answers of two students and add one point. They are all comprehensive.

PR is to put a piece of paper (visa) on your China passport. This sticker gives you the right to legally live and enter and leave New Zealand.

But since you still have a China passport, you still need a visa to go to other Commonwealth countries, because your nationality is still China, not New Zealand.

PR is divided into two stages.

The first stage is a visa valid for two years. Within two years, you can enter and leave New Zealand at will. If you want to get a permanent return visa, you must stay in New Zealand every year for two years 184 days or more.

Two years later, the second stage is to sign back permanently (IRRV, attached separately, at this time, you still hold a China passport). At that time, you can enter and leave New Zealand at will in your lifetime.

If you are not naturalized, you are only a permanent resident, and you cannot go to any Commonwealth country without a visa. But it's easier to get a visa than in China.

It takes five years for permanent residents to apply for New Zealand citizenship. You need to change your New Zealand passport, which means you have to give up your China passport and apply for a Chinese visa when you go to China in the future.

With citizenship, visa-free travel to all Commonwealth countries is usually three months. Then you need to apply for a visa.
