New Zealand Partner of Worker visa
Partner of Worker Visa
It is a category of visa usually applied for by applicants who wish to accompany or visit their partner who holds a Work Visa or is applying/has applied for a Work Visa. With this visa, you may be able to work and apply for visitor or student visas for your dependent children.
The conditions for partner of worker are:
- They must work for an accredited employer and be paid at least the median wage.
- If they work in a role covered by an un-capped sector agreement, they can be paid less than the median wage but must be paid the wage threshold for their role.
- If your partner works in a role on Green List or is paid at least twice the median wage, you will have open work rights.
- You will not be eligible for a partnership-based work visa if your partner is paid under the median wage.
To be eligible for this visa category, you must live together in a genuine and stable relationship with your partner as defined by the immigration instructions. You must also meet the health, character and fund requirements, and your partner must support your application. It can be daunting to determine what visa you are eligible for and what documentary evidence you can provide to satisfy the immigration requirements.
