If your partner holds a Student Visa or is applying/has applied for a Student Visa, they may support you with a Visitor Visa or a Work Visa.
However, meeting the eligibility for a Work Visa as a partner of a student may depend on the level of the course or its mention on the Green List of occupations. Your partner may also be able to support dependent children.
You can work and live in New Zealand on a partnership-based work visa. Your partner can support you for a work visa if they are studying or are applying for a student visa to study a Level 9 or Level 10 qualification, OR a Level 7 or Level 8 qualification included in the Green List.
With this partnership-based work visa, you can travel to New Zealand and stay for the same length as your partner student visa holder.
To be eligible for this visa category, you must live together in a genuine and stable relationship with your partner as defined by the immigration instructions. You must also meet the health, character and funds requirements, and your partner must support your application.
It can be a daunting task to determine which visa you are eligible for and what documentary evidence you can provide that can satisfy the immigration requirements. This is where our experienced licensed immigration advisers can help you decide the right approach, guide you and help you with the application process.
