Partner Visas New Zealand

Relationships are important for happiness and wellbeing. Sometimes people meet their partners abroad, and so living together may prove difficult due to length of stay regulations dictated by immigration policy.

Don't let the government keep you from your partner.

Borders shouldn’t limit the ability of people to spend time with their partners. That’s why New Zealand offers a range of different partner visa options to help NZ citizens bring their partners into the country.

Many of these relationship visas require evidence of living together. Visa conditions are carefully written not to obstruct unmarried partners living in de facto relationships from obtaining visas.

IMMagine Immigration offers a range of immigration services, including assistance with NZ partner visas.

Partner Of A New Zealander Resident Visa - Application Conditions

A condition of the Partner of a New Zealander Resident Visa is that your partner lives in NZ at the time of application if their residence is based on their Australian citizenship or permanent residency.

If you have been living with your New Zealand citizen partner for over 5 years outside New Zealand, you may be eligible for a permanent resident visa. This is on the condition that the application is submitted while your partner is overseas or has been back in New Zealand for less than 3 months.

If the application was submitted while overseas, you must move to NZ within 12 months of approval. After arriving in New Zealand, there are no restrictions on travel in and out of New Zealand until the travel conditions expire - which happens 2 years after you first arrive in NZ.

Partner of a New Zealander Resident Visa

The Partner of a New Zealander Resident Visa allows partners of NZ citizens or residents to permanently move to NZ. Partners can be of opposite sex or same sex, and must be living together in a genuine and stable relationship. This can be in the form of a civil marriage, civil union or de facto relationship.

If successful, the visa allows partners to live, work and study without limitations in New Zealand. Dependent children below the age of 24 can also be included in the visa application.

"A massive thank you to Tiffany, Hamish and Chen. Thanks to their knowledge, hard work and expertise, my family and I were fortunate to receive our 190 visa.

Chen and all the people we worked with at IMMagine, expertly guided us through this long process and we always knew that we couldn't be in better hands. They were professional, incredibly patient, understanding, knowledgeable and always a quick email away.

We will be eternally grateful for this wonderful opportunity!"

"We used the services of IMMagine for our permanent residency application, and April and Kane were fantastic and very supportive all through the process. They were always super quick to respond, and communication was effortless, which is extremly important in thsi proces. Our visa was unique and unusual, but April worked closely with my employer to receive all the needed information, and it was excepted.
I would highly recommend IMMagine services."
