What is a New Zealand Partner Visa?
A New Zealand Partner Visa is an immigration visa that allows the spouse or partner of a New Zealand citizen, resident, or certain visa holders to live in New Zealand. It is officially part of New Zealand's family-based immigration pathway and is managed by Immigration New Zealand (INZ).
The visa recognises different types of relationships and different immigration situations. Depending on your partner's status in New Zealand and the stage of your relationship, you may qualify for a temporary visa first, which can later lead to a residence visa and ultimately permanent residency.
Recognised Relationship Types for a New Zealand Partner Visa
| Relationship Type | Description |
| Married Spouse | Legally married under the laws of any country — must provide marriage certificate |
| Civil Union Partner | Registered civil union partner — requires civil union certificate from relevant authority |
| De Facto Partner | Couples who have lived together in a genuine, committed relationship for at least 12 months — evidence of cohabitation required |
All three relationship types are recognised by Immigration New Zealand. Whether you are married or in a de facto relationship, you can apply for a New Zealand Partner Visa — as long as your relationship is genuine, stable, and well-documented.
Types of New Zealand Partner Visas — Which One is Right for You?
New Zealand offers multiple visa options for partners depending on the sponsor's immigration status. As your New Zealand Partner Visa Consultant in Gurgaon, we identify the correct category for you and avoid costly mistakes in visa selection.
Partner of a New Zealand Citizen or Resident Visa
This is the most common New Zealand partner visa pathway. If your partner is a New Zealand citizen or holds a New Zealand residence visa, you can apply to live in New Zealand permanently.
This visa is typically processed in two stages:
- Stage 1 — Partner (Temporary) Visa: You are granted a temporary visa first, usually valid for 24 months, during which your relationship is assessed.
- Stage 2 — Partner (Residence) Visa: After 24 months, if your relationship is still genuine and ongoing, you apply for a residence visa which gives you the right to live in New Zealand permanently.
Partner of a Worker Work Visa
If your partner is living in New Zealand on a work visa — such as the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV), an Essential Skills Visa, or another valid work visa — you may be eligible for a Partner of a Worker Work Visa. This allows you to work in New Zealand while your partner is on their work permit.
- Requires your partner to hold a qualifying work visa
- Usually granted for the same duration as your partner's work visa
- Includes open work rights — you can work anywhere in New Zealand
- Can be renewed when your partner renews their work visa
Partner of a Student Visa
If your partner is studying in New Zealand on a student visa, you may qualify to join them. However, work rights under this visa depend on the type of study your partner is enrolled in.
- Partner may receive open work rights if their partner is enrolled in a postgraduate degree or certain full-time study at an approved New Zealand institution
- For some study levels, the partner visa may not include full work rights
- We assess your eligibility carefully before recommending this pathway
Partner of a Skilled Migrant / Residence Class Visa Holder
If your partner has been approved under New Zealand's Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) or holds another residence class visa, you can be included as a dependent in their residence application or apply separately as a partner.
