Congratulations letter has arrived

After submitting our application for citizenship, we have received a confirmation letter in three short weeks: "The Minister of Internal Affairs has approved your application for the grant of New Zealand Citizenship."

We will become New Zealand citizens after we attend a public citizenship ceremony and take the oath or affirmation of allegiance. In Nelson, this is an 90-minute approx meeting/ceremony that we attend, after which we get a tree to plant and a certificate.

Then we can apply for a passport.

Bring it on! Very exciting.

Happy holidays to you all.
