5 years after the age of 18.
However, NZF can apply for an exemption if they have spent 5 years in NZ under the age of 18 (which they didn't for Deklan Wynne back on 2015). This is how Aussie has been able to play the likes of Irankunda, Deng etc.

Well, if Aussie can do it - so can we? I've noticed Straya seem to get around this rule a lot. Maybe we need to ask them for pointers.
Yep, just need to have someone at NZF file the paperwork properly.
Australia is the biggest user of exemptions iirc. No surprise when you look at the talent coming out of the African diaspora that have settled there as refugees.
