New Zealand recovery visa 

The New Zealand government offers a specific type of visa called the "COVID-19 short-term visitor visa" to eligible visitors who were stranded in New Zealand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and need to stay in the country temporarily to organize their departure.

If you are in New Zealand on a visitor visa that will expire soon and you cannot leave the country because of COVID-19-related travel restrictions, you can apply for this visa to stay in the country for up to six months. This visa is also available to people who were previously on a work, student, or another type of visa that has expired and are unable to leave New Zealand.

To be eligible for this visa, you must meet certain criteria, including demonstrating that you are unable to leave New Zealand due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, having a valid travel document, and having enough money to support yourself during your stay. You must also meet health and character requirements.

It's important to note that this visa is a temporary solution and does not provide a pathway to residency or citizenship. If you want to stay in New Zealand long-term, you will need to explore other visa options. You can find more information about the COVID-19 short-term visitor visa on the Immigration New Zealand website.
