 Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2008 9:25 pm Post subject: Extension of WTR Visa |
 |
|
| I was issued a WTR visa which will expire on 12 September. I've started preparing for my departure on the 1st week of September but something urgent came up at the last minute which requires me to stay here in Manila for another three months. Is it okay for me to ask for an extension of my WTR visa? If yes, how do I go about the process. Would be grateful for any help. |

Got confused there. Are you on a 2 year, 6 months or 9 month WTR visa? The 12 September date is probably the date when you should be in new zealand and not the expiration.
There are NO WTR extensions as far as your case is concerned. You need to arrive here in NZ on the appointed time and no extensions will be granted to give you time to arrive. In my experience, the only time they grant an extension is when you are actually here and need more time to either look for work or complete at least three months of relevant work.
If it helps, make a special power of attorney and appoint a trusted individual to do that "something urgent" thing on your behalf.
I really have to point out that time is against you in terms of your visa, so please hurry and come here to New Zealand!!!
Hope this helps. |
