For New Zealand especially, what is the difference between residence and permanent residence?

Residence is a type of visa which allows you to live and work in New Zealand permanently. However, when you first get residence your visa comes with 2 years of travel conditions. Travel conditions are what allow you to come and go freely in and out of New Zealand. When those travel conditions expire, to be able to get indefinite travel conditions, you need to apply for what’s called Permanent Residence. To qualify, you must have shown sufficient commitment to New Zealand in the two years before applying. There are 5 “commitments” but the easiest to remember and most commonly met is spending 184+ days in NZ in each year before you apply.
