New Zealand Dependent Visa


New Zealand Dependent Visa

The New Zealand immigration services have come up with a range of visa options for the dependent parents, children and partners to join their near and dear ones in the country.



Parent/grandparent

The visiting parent/grandparent can move in and out of the country more than once for a maximum term of 36 months on the same visa, however, each of such stay cannot last more than 6 months. In other words, the permissible limit of stay is 18 months within a 3 year period. This visa will not entitle the visitor to take up work in the country during the stay. Additionally, the child, grandchild or their New Zealand parent must sponsor the visitor. Your partner can also be included in this kind of a visa application and accompanying dependent children, if any, is required to apply for individual visas.

Children

Children of New Zealand residents or citizen, on being granted residence, are allowed an indefinite period of stay in the country, during which they can choose to live, study and get engaged in any kind of occupation.  However, if the resident is subject to the conditions of Sec 49(1) of the Immigration Act 2009, the dependent child’s visa would also be subjected to the same. The dependent children can move in and out of the country till the expiry of their travel conditions, where the term of such an expiry is limited to a time frame of 2 years from the date of their first visit to the country under the resident visa. The expiry of the travel conditions during their stay outside the country will result in the expiry of their visa as well. The dependent applicant must not be more than 24 years of age.

Partner

A dependent partner of a resident New Zealander can stay, study and work in the country for an indefinite period, on being granted residence. This kind of visa has the criteria of including the dependent children aged within 24 years. The partner of an immigrant with work visa can stay and work in the country for the same length as permitted in the partner’s work visa. They can study for a period of not more than 3 months and are allowed to travel in and out of the country until the expiry of their visas. The dependent partner of a New Zealander work visa holder can join their partner and work in the country for either two years or one year only when they have been living together for more than a year or less in the respective cases.
