Partner of a Worker / Student Work Visa

A partner who lives in a genuine relationship with an eligible New Zealand work-visa holder or a student-visa holder studying a qualifying level 7, 8, 9 or 10 qualification may receive a work visa normally matching the principal applicant's visa duration. AEWV support and work conditions depend on the principal job, pay and residence pathway; a student partner must generally show NZD 4,200. This temporary status is not residence.
