Zimbabwean nationals who apply for residence under the Special Zimbabwe Residence Policy and are living in New Zealand will be exempt from the requirement to be of an acceptable standard of health;
the Special Zimbabwe Residence Policy will close on 28 February 2007; and
Contact TNC to find out more and how you can benefit from these changes.
- further extensions of existing temporary permits for Zimbabwean nationals will be given to 1 November 2007. This extension of time is to enable all the residence applications under the Special Zimbabwe Residence Policy to be decided.
