Relationships are important for happiness and wellbeing. Sometimes people meet their partners abroad, and so living together may prove difficult due to length of stay regulations dictated by immigration policy.
Borders shouldn’t limit the ability of people to spend time with their partners. That’s why New Zealand offers a range of different partner visa options to help NZ citizens bring their partners into the country.
Many of these relationship visas require evidence of living together. Visa conditions are carefully written not to obstruct unmarried partners living in de facto relationships from obtaining visas.
