Hi, it's Kidra Tristal again. I'll talk briefly about the approval letter. This document includes a warning that we should leave NZ if we fail to secure a permanent residency status before our visa expires. Also, attached to it is a list of kit managers with whom WTR holders are supposed to maintain contact until they get their permanent residency. Also, enclosed in the envelope are two guide brochures for the first few weeks of the immigrants in the NZ. As for the visa, it tells the holder that he/she need not purchase a round-trip plane ticket. The assumption perhaps is that there is no need to buy one as we intend to stay in the NZ for a longer period of time before we think again of coming back to our country of origin. I can't stay for long this time. The computer shop is already closing. Bye for now. Have a good time this weekend. For the waiters: JUST KEEP YOURSELVES ENTERTAINED FOR THE MEANTIME. I KNOW, I KNOW. IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME, MY V.O. EMAILED ME ON A SUNDAY. THERE IS NO VACATION AT BANGKOK NZIS I BELIEVE THIS DECEMBER. THEY SEEM TO BE WORKING THERE 7 DAYS A WEEK. AGAIN, I THINK OUR RESPECTIVE VOs ARE ON OUR SIDE BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE ABSOLUTE CONTROL OVER THE ISSUANCE OF THE WTR. FOR WHAT REASON, I'M SORRY, IT'S REALLY HARD TO FIGURE. SIGE MUNA HA.

Thanks Kidra for that detailed information about WTR Approval letter. Can you share the contents of the letter/notice previous to this, meaning, the letter that requires submission of proof of settlement funds to be sent to BKK? Thanks

Hi Ginny. The letter simply asks us to submit the following: 1. passport/s 2. payment of US $400 plus around US$10 for the mailing service (bank draft or through credit card) 3. proof (bank book and/or bank certificate) that each family member has at least US$3,000. This serves as an evidence that you can survive decently for three months in NZ while looking for a job. I submitted my bank book and a bank certificate. Bye for now.

Quick note. Congrats to those who've received their visas. And to the waiters - it means you're next! Looks like a good number of Pinoys are arriving in the next 2 months. Corex, Marichu and I are thinking of organizing a simple get-together to welcome the new arrivals here in Auckland and help re-establish the network of Filipinos in Auckland. Perhaps last week of January or early February. Would like to get a list of interested parties. If you are keen, kindly email me at jesguerra_99@yahoo.com. We'd love to meet you all. A wonderful Christmas and a blessed New year to everyone! jpe
