Dear Harsha ,

 

Thank you for contacting us.

 

 To be eligible for this visa, you must hold an eligible type of work visa
on 29/09/2021 and on the day you submit the application.

 

There is no requirement to remain on an eligible type of work visa while
the application is in process.

 

Kind regards,

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

 

I’m writing to get formal information regarding moving to a student VISA
after applying for a 2021 resident visa.

 

Even though the INZ website says that an applicant must hold an eligible
visa on 29th September 2021 and at the date of application, some rumours
say that the applicant must hold the eligible visa until it’s processed.
INZ originally said that it's necessary to have a VALID visa during the
process of RV application and must have an eligible visa 29th September
2021 and at the date of application.

 

I applied for RV2021 on the 1st of March under scare list criteria and I
have an essential skill work visa for dairy farming. And I just want to
confirm that moving to a student visa AFTER applying for RV2021 under
scare criteria will make any harm to my RV2021  or eligibility.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you

 

Yours faithfully,

Harsha
