of course.. but while immigration is a state concern, and not granted by the EU as such, getting thrown out of a member country can remove your right to return to the EU as a whole for a fixed period. worth mentioning perhaps that there is no harm contacting your local NZ embassy and asking them outright what your rights are. ask them about worst case scenarios relative to where you are. cheers, -- julian oliver http://julianoliver.com http://selectparks.net messages containing HTML will not be read. _______________________________________________ Ada_list mailing list [email protected] http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/
