If you are in New Zealand and need to stay past the date your visa expires, you cannot extend your visa — instead, you must apply for another visa or a temporary visa before your current one expires.
To apply for a temporary visa in New Zealand, the general requirements include being in New Zealand and holding a current visa that is not a limited, interim, or transit visa. It is advisable to apply for another visa at least one month before your current visa's expiry date to ensure sufficient processing time.
