Conservative earliest estimated standard-presence date
The earliest date the entered history may meet the standard numerical presence test is:—
—
Important: This is an independent estimate of the public numerical presence test, not an official DIA decision. The calculator tests 1,350 eligible days across the five years immediately before a proposed application date and at least 240 eligible days in each of the five consecutive 12-month periods. It uses a conservative boundary convention: departure is the first day outside New Zealand, return is the first day back, and the proposed application date is the endpoint rather than an eligible day in the look-back window. If the earliest date shown is in the past, later travel cannot retroactively change that historical earliest date, so the calculator separately checks whether today's rolling window still meets the numerical test. DIA may calculate boundary dates differently using official visa and movement records. Confirm your result with the DIA self-check or Citizenship Office before applying.
