About new Zealand's application for pr

1. You don't need to submit a passport to apply for PR, you just need to submit a copy of your passport, but the copy needs to be signed by the local sheriff or lawyer. Information about the sheriff or lawyer can be obtained from the yellow pages, libraries and citizens' advice bureaus.

2. If you want to postpone the application, just explain the reasons, preferably not more than 3 months.

As long as you have a legal visa, you can enter and leave the country freely at any time. In addition, it is normal to submit the PR application late, and it will not affect the PR application.
