I sent the same question to "I Vote NZ" (The official NZ Government Elections Facebook page) on facebook a week or two ago.
My question:
Are we eligible to vote while living outside of NZ? If so, how do we actually vote?
Their response:
Yes - as long as you're NZ citizens, over 18, and have been back to NZ within the past 3 years, then you're eligible. You can either download and print voting papers from our website, vote in person at an overseas post, or apply for a postal vote. More information about all these options is here: Voting from overseas
You're also eligible if you're NZ permanent residents who have been back to NZ in the last 12 months
