You may also need to suply medical screenings and police records.
Processing time will vary depending on how and when you apply for the visa. Immigration New Zealand states that 75 percent of Partnership Visas take up to 13 months to process.
The application cost will vary, depending on your country of origin, what country you’re in when you apply, and whether you submit your application online or by post. Also bear in mind that you will have to pay for medical screenings, police records, and possibly translations.There are no refunds if your application is declined. To determine the application cost based on your specific situation, visit INZ’s fee finder.
There are many possible reasons why Partnership Visa applications are unsuccessful, even when you think you’ve done everything right. The most common reasons for rejection include not meeting the character requirements, not supplying sufficient evidence that your relationship is genuine, you haven't lived together for a sufficient period of time or someone is married to/has a civil union with another person.
You may apply online or by post. To apply for a Partnership Visa, you will need to prove that you have lived with your partner for at least 12 months. Our free webinar will walk you through the entire application process, detailing the essentials required for a successful application. We also provide 1 on 1 consultations if you'd like a professional review before submitting to ensure it gets accepted.
