How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

RSE visa holders from most countries may stay in New Zealand for a maximum of 7 months in any 11-month period; citizens of Tuvalu and Kiribati who also live there can stay an extra 2 months. Holders must leave before the visa expires and cannot apply to stay longer, except that in exceptional circumstances, if the maximum time has not been reached, a further RSE Limited Visa may be applied for to keep working for an RSE for the balance of the allowed time. The official source does not state a longer-term residence direction.
