VerifiedHi My name is ***** ***** I am a New Zealand lawyer based in Wellington with more than 42 years of experience. I am here to help with your questions.A drink-driving conviction might have affected your residence application. However it is unlikely that they will cancel the residence Visa because of this conviction. That is because it happened after they granted the residency Visa
That should not affect your residence
