Your Life Together, Anchored in NZ
Secure permanent residency through your genuine partnership, with expert guidance every step of the way.
✽ Who Should Apply?
A pathway to residence through genuine, committed relationships
At New Zealand Dream Immigration & Investment, we understand that love and family are central to your life—and your future plans. For those in a committed relationship with a New Zealand citizen or resident, the Partnership Visa offers a route to permanent residence. While the process may appear simple, navigating it successfully requires strategic care, especially when demonstrating the strength and authenticity of your relationship.
What Qualifies as a Partnership?
Immigration New Zealand recognises relationships of:
- Legal marriage
- Civil union
- De facto partnership
Regardless of gender, couples must show they have lived together in a genuine and stable relationship for at least 12 months to qualify.
Proving a Genuine Relationship
Approval is not just about being in love—it’s about substantiating your life together. Immigration officers review documentation, timelines, and the practical realities of your partnership. For high-net-worth individuals who may travel frequently or maintain dual residences, this can create complexity.
We assist with:
- Curating compelling documentation
- Navigating long-distance arrangements
- Addressing complexities like prior marriages or temporary separations
What You Need to Know
- The process can feel intrusive—your relationship is under official scrutiny.
- Time apart (for work or family obligations) must be explained and supported with evidence.
- There are limits on how often a New Zealand partner may sponsor someone.
- All applicants must meet health and character requirements.
Our Perspective -
Even genuine relationships can face delays or issues if not properly presented. That’s why many successful applications begin with specialist guidance from the start. We offer confidential, high-touch advisory services to ensure you avoid unnecessary stress or risk.
