Partner Visas

Partner Visas allow individuals to join or stay with their spouse or partner who is a New Zealand citizen, resident, or eligible work/student visa holder. These visas support genuine couples wishing to build a life together in New Zealand.

Applicants must provide proof of a stable and committed relationship. Successful applicants can live, study, and in many cases, work in New Zealand during the visa validity. For partners of citizens and residents, this visa can also lead to residency pathways.

New Zealand values family unity, making this visa category an important option for couples seeking a stable future together.
