or “Permanent resident visa holders can live, work, and study in New Zealand indefinitely”
You could also call this:

“Resident visa allows entry, work, and study in New Zealand with certain conditions”

If you have a resident visa, you can travel to New Zealand and ask for permission to enter the country. You can do this before you travel or when you arrive. However, you must follow any rules about travel that come with your visa.

If you are given permission to enter New Zealand, you can stay in the country for as long as you want. You can also work anywhere in New Zealand or in the waters around it. You’re allowed to study in New Zealand too. But remember, you need to follow any special rules that come with your visa.
