Hi, dapat you’re not away for more than 12mos in total in the past 4yrs and no more than 90 days in total in the past 12 mos. Pwedeng irequest ng case officer yung SG COC if you stayed there for a year or you stayed in one country for 90 days or more from the time na naging PR ka na.

ah sige salamat! sana nga haha
Ma exexpire na kasi PR ko ng feb, tapos may pending trip to NZ s july, umaasa ako na hindi sana mag apply nung extension na may bayad
Joined: Jan 22, 2020
yung sa Resident Return visa, kailangan ba mag apply before mag expire yung PR? or pwede mag apply after? Gusto ko kasi hintayin ung citizenship in case ma process n nga. Ang mahal din kasi nung 400$
Timeline:
Feb 2021 - PR ko kasi expires ng late Feb
July 2021 - tentative travel date to NZ for a friend's wedding
Iniisip ko if pwede magapply ng RR after expiration ng PR, s mga May n lng ako mag apply, incase ma process yung citizenship
