FAMILY REUNIFICATION

The objective of the New Zealand family immigration policy is to contribute to nation building and strengthen families and communities while reinforcing the Government’s overall immigration policy objectives.

Family applicants for New Zealand residence can be submitted if the applicant is living in a stable relationship with a New Zealand citizen/resident, or they are a parent, dependant child, adult sibling, or adult child of a New Zealand citizen or New Zealand residence holder.

Various requirements relate to each particular category. If you have a partner or family member who is a New Zealand resident or citizen, we suggest you contact us for advice as to whether you would qualify for residence under family policy.
