Eligibility for Victims of Family Violence Work Visa
The eligibility criteria of Victims of Family Violence Work Visa is being expanded by Immigration New Zealand (INZ) to include partners of temporary migrants affected by family violence.
This visa is available from 28 February 2023, has a 6-month duration and open work rights and there is no fee to apply.
Currently, partners of New Zealand citizens and residents can already access the visa.
This change is intended to reduce the difficulties experienced by migrant victims of family violence, who may also be able to apply for an extension or a Victims of Family Violence Resident Visa upon expiry.
More information about the Family Violence Work Visa & its eligibility criteria can be found here.

Director
Vandana is herself a migrant and has a rare set of skill match, which could be considered ideal for a Licensed Immigration Adviser. She was a school counsellor from 1996 to 2006, a role in which she was a natural fit due to her nurturing and caring personality. Her earnest journey as a fully Licensed Immigration Adviser for New Zealand began in 2014, and she considers herself blessed to have the background and the skills that allow her, as an Immigration adviser, to effortlessly visualise herself in her client’s situation, understand their needs and problems, and use her knowledge, experience, and expertise to help find a solution for it.
She is currently on the Board of New Zealand Association of Migration and Investment (NZAMI) and was part of the Immigration Advisers Authority(IAA) referral group for 2016.
