How to Bring Your Partner to NZ on a Partnership Based Visa

Though it need not be, the process can appear intimidating. You must meet the requirements of a partnership in order to be eligible to apply for a Partnership Based Visa based on your relationship and provide proof that it is a real one.



According to Immigration New Zealand (INZ), a partnership is defined as two people of the same sex or of the opposite sex who live together in a sincere and stable relationship, whether it be through a civil union, a marriage, or a de facto relationship. You can make the shift as successful and painless as possible with the right planning and information.


Additionally, in order to be eligible for a Partnership Based Visa, you and your supporting partner had to have met before applying for the visa. You also had to be at least 18 years old, have parental or guardian approval if you were 16 or 17, and not be related. Please remember that from INZ's perspective, living together entails sharing a house with your supporting partner.


The following advice will help you apply for a family partnership-based visa for New Zealand:

  • Verify that you and your partner are eligible for a partnership-based visa by looking over the eligibility conditions. This may consist of documentation attesting to the existence of your partnership, such as marriage or civil union certificates, agreements regarding finances, etc.

  • All forms must be properly completed. Make sure you completely and accurately fill out all the application forms so that the necessary authorities can handle them swiftly and conveniently.

  • Compile the necessary paperwork. To demonstrate a true and lasting relationship, gather all the necessary documentation. Additionally, gather all necessary documents before completing the application form, such as birth certificates, passports, medical records, and police clearances.

  • The application must be submitted, along with all required forms and supporting documentation.

  • Follow-up - Until your visa application has been granted or denied, keep tabs on the status of your application.



You'll have a greater chance of receiving a New Zealand partnership-based visa for yourself and your family swiftly and without problems if you adhere to these procedures and correctly complete all required papers!



For individuals who want to work in the country, this visa is a fantastic possibility. It enables partners of New Zealand citizens or residents to access the New Zealand labour market, enabling them to contribute and grow alongside their partners. Additionally, this visa gives organisations access to a broader global talent pool, enabling them to locate the most qualified applicants for their open positions. It is obvious that partnership-based work visas are currently having a beneficial impact on the economy and job market in New Zealand and will do so in the future.
