Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

I am writing this to know information about Permanent Residency application. I received my residency in January 2022. I have been living in NZ and working full-time since then. I haven't even left this country for a day. I have a baby born 6 months ago; she is an NZ Citizen by birth.

1. Can I apply for a permanent residency visa before February 2024 in July 2023 as I will complete the requirements of living in NZ for more than 6 months each year?
2. I am also committed to NZ as NZ only tax resident and working here as a full-time employee.

Please let me know as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Zhang Yu
