Dear Walker,

 

Thank you for contacting us.

 

 If you depart New Zealand on your work visa, you will have to apply for a
border exception to allow you to return.

 

The border exception can only be applied for when you are outside of New
Zealand and you must meet certain criteria and apply under the criteria
you meet for this to be granted.

 

Please refer to the link provided below for information about the border
exception process and the different criteria to be granted this.

Kind regards,

> Morning
>
> My situation is, I hold a Post Study Work Visa at this moment, and I am
working for CPB company as a site engineer.  My family( wife and two kids)
live in New Zealand as well. I submitted my EOI into the Pool in this
January.  However, my parents are around 80 years old now, their health
situation is not so good. In case, if their situation is worse, or dying,
can I go back China to company them for a while based on humanism as the
only son they have, for one or two month, and then come back New Zealand?
Even I go back China, my family will stay here.  You know, at the moment,
the border of New Zealand is still closed. The visa I hold is just work
visa, not residence visa. Please give me some official information. Thanks
a lot.
