1. are 65 or over
2. either:
are a New Zealand citizen
are a permanent resident, or
hold a residence class visa
are ordinarily resident in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Niue or Tokelau when you apply
3. have lived in New Zealand for at least 10 years since you turned 20
4. have lived in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Niue or Tokelau (or a combination of these) for at least 5 years since you turned 50.
When we say ‘you live’ or ‘you’ve lived’, we mean you normally live in NZ, the Cook Islands, Niue or Tokelau and that’s where your home is.
You may qualify for NZ Super with less than 10 years residence if you have migrated to New Zealand from a country that New Zealand has a social security agreement with.
Note: You don't have to be retired from work to get NZ Super as it's not income tested.
Other income you earn can affect other payments you get from us (over and above NZ Super/Veteran's Pension).作者: Patrick2003 时间: 2019-8-6 09:23:09
Call work and income & they have Chinese speaker line.
Based what you said above, I don't think you can get the pension.. you need 3650 days in NZ etc..作者: talentchen 时间: 2019-8-6 09:27:17
