Are you dreaming of joining your partner in New Zealand? The Partnership Visa NZ categories offer a range of options for partners of New Zealand citizens. If you have been in a living relationship with a New Zealand citizen or resident for 12 months or more, you can apply for residence under a partnership visa NZ. This category allows you to reunite with your partner and build a life together in New Zealand.

This pathway to residence can be a significant milestone in your journey to making New Zealand your permanent home. It recognises the commitment and bond shared with your partner and provides a pathway to long-term settlement.

If your partner is not a resident but holds a work or student visa in New Zealand, you may be able to apply for a partnership-based visa. This option enables you to join your partner while they work or study in New Zealand, creating opportunities for both of you to experience life in this vibrant country.
