Family Visas NZ
New Zealand offers a range of family visa options to help bring loved ones together. Learn about pathways to reunite with loved ones in New Zealand, join your partner, children, or parents and build your future together.
What is a New Zealand Family Visa?
A New Zealand Family Visa is a type of visa that allows people to join or support their close family members who are already living in New Zealand. These visas are designed to help reunite families and can cover different situations, such as:
- Partner visas – for spouses, civil partners, or long-term partners of New Zealand citizens or residents.
- Parent visas – for parents of New Zealand citizens or residents who want to move closer to their children.
- Dependent child visas – for children who rely on a parent living in New Zealand.
Each visa type has its own eligibility requirements, such as proof of relationship, financial support, and health and character checks.
