How to read
Two surfaces, one source. Use whichever fits the question in front of you.
Read the wiki at your own pace, or ask the assistant a single question in plain English.
The assistant narrows to the visa category that applies and quotes the paragraph that decides it.
Every answer links to the exact paragraph in the Immigration NZ Operational Manual. Read it in context, decide for yourself.
Why this can be trusted
“BestVisa is a reading of the manual, not a rewrite of it. The wording is ours; the policy is theirs.”
Start with a question. We'll show you where the answer lives.
