新西兰普通访问签证（General Visitor Visa）的 6/12规则

在新西兰

和移民局电话联系了几次，都确认了General Visitor Visa普遍适用6/12规则， 即每十二个月只能呆6个月，超过就暂时无法入境否则算breaching conditions。供各位参考。

不是应该18个月内不超过9个月的规则吗？

移民局官网没改啊

Duration – Visitors and tourists
You can visit New Zealand as a genuine tourist for up to 9 months in an 18-month period.

The 18-month period is calculated backwards from the last day you intend to be in New Zealand.
If the last day you’ll be here is 1 December, then your 18-month period will begin on 1 June of the year before.
NOTES
You can apply for another 3 months’ stay and extend your stay to 12 months in a 24-month period, if:

you need more time to complete your tourist itinerary
you can’t leave New Zealand for reasons beyond your control
you’ve applied for residence for the first time.
To apply for another 3 months’ stay, you must have financially supported yourself and not worked, studied or been sponsored during your stay.

If you’ve recently visited New Zealand for a total of 12 months, you have to remain outside New Zealand for 12 months before you can apply for another Visitor Visa.

Immigration New Zealand (INZ) Operational Manual上说，多次入境旅游签证持有者，如果打算在12个月周期内停留超过6个月则不能获得entry permission，也就是不能入境。

V2.15 Multiple journey visas
a. The objective of the multiple journey visa instructions is to facilitate opportunities for individuals who have bona fide reasons to regularly travel to New Zealand for visits of up to six months.
b. To be granted a multiple journey visa under these instructions applicants:
i. must lodge an application for a visitor visa, as set out in E4, from outside New Zealand; and
ii. must meet visitor visa requirements (see V2.1); and
iii. must not have been in New Zealand for more than nine months in the preceding 18-month period (see V2.5) at the time the application is lodged.
c. On arrival, an applicant may be granted entry permission, provided that they will not spend more than six months in New Zealand in the 12-month period before the end of their current stay.
d. Multiple journey visas may be current for travel for up to 3 years from the date they are granted so long as the passport remains valid, except in the case of:
i. nationals of the United States of America, in which case the visa may be current for travel for up to 4 years from the date it is granted; or
ii.nationals of the People’s Republic of China, in which case the visa may be current for travel for up to 5 years from the date it is granted.
e. Where an applicant is applying under another visitor category that allows multiple journey visas, those instructions prevail.

iii. must not have been in New Zealand for more than nine months in the preceding 18-month period (see V2.5) at the time the application is lodged.

c. On arrival, an applicant may be granted entry permission, provided that they will not spend more than six months in New Zealand in the 12-month period before the end of their current stay.

那请问这2条放在一起怎么理解？

评论

直接翻译就行，一个说的是提交签证申请，一个说的是入境许可。

评论

哦，那就是现在是6/12？我看最新的operational manual是Effective 08/05/2017，那和我的经历就不太对啊，17年哪怕最近我父母都有停留9个月，请问你知道是怎么一回事吗？

评论
同样的，那V2.5.1 General visitors下的b. A visitor visa should allow the applicant to stay in New Zealand for a total of no more than nine months in the 18-month period before the proposed expiry date of the visa.

这些不是有互相冲突吗？

评论

你是说3年的父母旅游签还是5年的普通旅游签

评论

我觉得没有冲突，这条只是说旅游签所允许的在18个月周期内的停留时间不能多于9个月，只说了上限，不是说一定让你能呆满9个月，要不那些一个月单次旅游签还不都要造反了

评论
请问给父母申请5 年多次旅游签证，他们没有visa card 和Mastercard， 怎么来证明银行流水， 而且平时国内花销也是用现金啊？ 谢谢指导

评论

你担保父母，就OK了

请问这个说的是一次入境最长不能待6个月吧？还是说12个月内，每次2-3个月，累计超过6个月也不行？
