Thread: Re applying for expired FAL

For anybody else who is thinking about departing NZ for a stint overseas for work or something like that, DO NOT allow your licence to expire, thinking that when you get back you can simply re-apply.
The best procedure is to Voluntarily Surrender the licence. The re-application process becomes a whole lot tidier and, in all probability, you will be re-issued with a licence that has the same number as the one you surrendered.
Don't ask me how I know!
