Description
The 12/16-month rule is a way of classifying border crossings as short-term or long-term on the basis of whether travellers spend 12 months (or more) of the following 16 months in New Zealand. The 12/16 month rule gives a transparent and objective method of classifying travellers, rather than relying on the stated intentions of travellers on passenger cards.
