Borders are closing to everyone not a NZ citizen or permanent resident at midnight tonight.
I'm so lucky we decided to get back here yesterday otherwise the kids could literally have never seen their grandmother again - she has months left, and they're not citizens 😨

@chimoaus thanks. We are heading up to to see her after iso is over.
Yeah, plenty of people will be affected by this. I wonder if Scomo and Cindy talked about trans Ta$man exemptions? You'd think they'd discuss it at least right, must have decided it's not enough to have similar policies.

@chimoaus said in Coronavirus - Overall/Rest of the World:
@voodoo I would assume NZ is exempt as you can become a resident in OZ just with your passport.
Even that is tightening up. On this side of the ditch:
Australian citizens and permanent residents who normally live in New Zealand can still come to New Zealand.

How are they not citizens? You didn't get them passports at birth?

This article details the Chinese attempts to suppress their own doctors from talking about it.

All born in Oz, never got them NZ passports. I could probably do that in Welly in 2 weeks, though that wouldn't help the wife.

Every Kiwi I know here personally who has kids got them citizenship at birth. In part probably because in most cases they're not eligible for Oz citizenship, but even the one who married an Aussie bloke made sure she got NZ citizenship. I assume your missus is Australian? I assume it's also pretty easy to get their citizenship?

Interesting article, thanks for sharing. Lots to consider in response to this.

@Nepia From memory Australian Citizenship costs around $4000 each and you have to have 5 years of 50k+ earnings. You then get to vote and access a few benefits. You still get super, pension, medicare etc as a resident.
I was meaning the kids at birth.
