Cool! yes they can take it indefinitely, you just have to apply. You don’t have to return within 6 months if you apply and tell them your plans. But if you don’t tell them and you don’t return within 6 months, you will have to pay it back I believe. Hope your plans go well!

one more question please, if we can get the income certified, do they come in on visa exempt or a tourist visa? As you said they don’t need a visa? Thanks 🙏🏽

oh and we have to ask the nz embassy IN thailand if they do income certification, not here in NZ? Is that right? Thanks for all the advice

Ok going to try get embassy to certify their income. Failing that, will apply for the non-oa. Is there a 3 year non-oa visa?

thank you, that’s a big savings. It’s gone up to $2000 NZ dollars to apply for the non-oa here. They will be living in Bangkok. They were there for a year in

-2023 but on a STV that didn’t last long and then had to do visa exempt. Will that have any effect on them getting the non-oa?
