Partnership Visa - Dalley Sundar

AREA OF PRACTICE

Partnership visas allow people to live in New Zealand based on their relationship with a New Zealand citizen, resident, or visa holder. These visas recognise marriages, civil unions, and de facto relationships, provided the couple is living together in a genuine and stable partnership. Applications focus heavily on evidence of the relationship – including shared living arrangements, financial interdependence, and a commitment to a shared life – and may lead to work rights or residence depending on the circumstances. We can assess your circumstances and prepare the application.

Complex Partnership Visa Cases

Overseas Partner

Many couples in genuine relationships are not yet living together – typically because one partner is overseas. This can make Immigration New Zealand’s living-together requirement difficult to meet. We can prepare an application that presents the relationship evidence carefully and addresses the requirement directly.

Partnership Work/Residence

Partnership-based work and residence visas allow partners of New Zealand citizens, residents, or visa holders to live and work in New Zealand based on their relationship. We prepare applications that present the relationship evidence in line with Immigration New Zealand’s requirements, and manage the process from initial application through to residence.

Complex Partnership Visa Cases

Some partnership situations fall outside Immigration New Zealand’s standard expectations – such as polyamorous relationships, New Zealand partners with criminal convictions, or where the New Zealand partner has previously supported more than one partner for visas. We take a careful, strategic approach to these cases and address the specific issues directly when preparing the application.
