Partnership-Based and Dependent Child Visas

Surani Associates understands the importance of family and the desire to have loved ones close. That's why we provide assistance with any family visa application.

Partnership-Based Work Visas allow the partners of visa applicants to join them in New Zealand. For example, if your partner holds a work visa, they can support your application for a visitor or work visa. This enables couples and partners to be together while living and working in New Zealand. However, there are requirements, such as being in a genuine and stable relationship, living together (evidence like joint bank accounts or proof of shared residence), meeting health and character criteria, and fulfilling funds requirements.

Dependent Child Visas are for the dependent children of parents. If the parent holds a visa or is applying for one, they can include their dependent child in their application. This visa category is available for children who meet specific age requirements, are single, and financially dependent on their parents.

These two visa types are dependent on the main applicant's visa. For instance, the length of stay will be the same as the main applicant's visa duration.

Partners and dependent children can join their partner/parent if the main applicant holds an Immigration New Zealand Student Visa, Work Visa, or Visitor Visa.
