Current condition: holder of Resident VISA

a. they either:
  i. hold a resident visa, and have held that resident visa continuously for at least 24 months at the time of application; or
  ii. have held a resident visa in the three months before the application is made, and had held that resident visa continuously for at least 24 months before it expired; and
b. their first day in New Zealand as a resident (R5.66.1(b)) was at least 24 months before the application is made; and
c. they can demonstrate a commitment to New Zealand by meeting the requirements set out in any one of the five subsections below (RV2.5.1 to RV2.5.20); and
d. they have met any conditions imposed under section 49(1),of the Immigration Act; and

题主英文应该不错，这里就是规章制度的原文，仔细看就明白了

一般来说靠居住时间换取的PRV，条件是
2年期内，184天停留在NZ.
2年期是你visa上的时间。
比如2016年4月29日拿到的签证，那么就是2018年4月29日以后的任何一天去申请（人在NZ境内）
