Return to New Zealand

When the client returns to New Zealand you will need to confirm the following:

• date of return to New Zealand
• date of departure (if client did not advise before leaving New Zealand) and
• did the client apply for or get any benefit or pension in the country that they travelled to, or an increase in the benefit or pension that they already get from that country during their stay there?

Note couples getting the grandparented non-qualified partner rate of New Zealand Superannuation will lose their grandparenting, if the qualified client is not entitled to payment during their absence, or any part of their absence.
