Are you looking to work/study in NZ, if you have a partner who is a New Zealand citizen or resident, then a partnership-based work visa is for you. Let us understand this in detail.
Partnership-based work visa
Partnership-based work visas are typically requested by those who want to travel with or see their spouse who has a work visa, is applying for one, or has already applied for one. You can work with this visa while requesting visitor or student visas for your dependent children.
Now let us understand who is eligible for a partnership-based work visa
Eligibility criteria:
You must cohabitate in a sincere and stable relationship with your partner, as specified by the immigration rules, to qualify for a partnership-based work visa.
Your partner must support your application, and you must also meet the requirements for health, character, and finances. Determining which visa you qualify for and what supporting documentation you may offer to meet immigration criteria might be difficult.
Moving to a new nation is expensive. Let's examine the numerous elements that affect your budget.
Costs for immigration advice and visas
The amount charged to help you migrate will primarily rely on the kind of visas you qualify for and the route(s) you want to take. The eligibility assessment will determine the optimal pathways for you and your family.
1. Visa costs
These costs must be paid to Immigration New Zealand when your visa application is submitted.
They depend on your citizenship, the category of visa you are applying for, and your location at the time of application. Due to bilateral agreements between New Zealand and your country of origin, the visa fee may occasionally be waived.
(Indicative visa costs ($NZD))
Visa for workers: $495 to $635
Visa for partnerships: $495 to $635
A charge schedule is subject to change at any time.
2. Documentation
You may need paperwork throughout your migration, such as a passport, a birth certificate, or pictures. Additionally, you need to have some documents translated, and most residence applications call for certified copies of the originals. Obtaining a document's certification from an authorized person may be expensive in some nations.
3. Evaluation of International Competence
A list of qualifications that are automatically recognized by New Zealand immigration law is published by the New Zealand Qualification Authority (NZQA). If your qualification is not listed, you might need to have it evaluated to qualify for residence points. The price starts at $445.
4. Professional Licencing
Certain professions are required by law to register with the appropriate body. This covers, among other roles, those of an electrician, a teacher, a lawyer, a plumber or gasfitter, or a physiotherapist. The registration body frequently charges a fee to complete the registration process.
