Application lodged prior to departure

When a client advises that they intend to live in Denmark they will need to:

• complete an Application for Payment Overseas form (WIS7W)
• be interviewed by a case manager who must complete the interview form (WIF9W)
• provide verification of the total period of their residence in New Zealand
• provide two forms of identification one must be their passport and
• provide their air tickets or travel itinerary to confirm that they are travelling to Denmark
• verified bank account details if different than those on SWIFTT

The application form, interview form and supporting documents should be sent to International Services for processing.

Note International Services should be contacted before any current New Zealand benefit is cancelled or suspended.

The residency and ordinary residency requirements are addressed under the specific benefit that is being applied for.

The client can use their periods of residence in Denmark to meet the qualifications for the New Zealand benefit or pension.
