Can Students be Able to Support Partnership Visas?
Living together with your partner in New Zealand is now no more complex and difficult as it used to be once. Temporary holders of student visas NZ or work visas can help their partners to join them in the country.
With an approved NZ partnership visa, you can shake hands with your partner and live together as usual. Are you planning to start with your adventurous journey? Then, it is essential to show evidence of living together for a sufficient time.

What are the Evidence to Provide by Your Partner?
The evidence must be such that it can demonstrate that the relationship is overall genuine, credible and stable. Few evidences that can prove your relationship to be highly stable and genuine are:
- Marriage certificate
- Birth certificate of child, if any
- Evidence regarding communication
- Proofs for joint financial responsibilities
The evidence provided will help the higher authorities assess the overall genuineness of the stability of the relationship. Partners that have stayed apart from each other due to any reason are supposed to provide sufficient information.
The reasons may be working in different countries or so on. Also, the tenure of living apart and the way you have remained in touch with each other must also be addressed clearly. Along with providing sufficient relationship-related evidence, your partner must meet the minimum health and character requirements.
Can Your Partner Contribute to the Economy of New Zealand?
Can your partner contribute to the economy of New Zealand and have a job offer in the skilled occupation? If yes, then he or she will be eligible for the skilled migrant category, which is the pathway to permanent residency.
By demonstrating the right skills and qualifications, it may lead to permanent residence visa NZ. The point-based system will help in assessing the eligibility based on several factors like age, qualifications, work experience and job offer.
The job role for which your partner has been selected must be paying at least the median wage. Also, six points are required to become eligible for the skilled migrant category resident visa.
The points are allotted via a threshold that is outlined by the Immigration New Zealand from any of the following three categories:
- Occupational registration in New Zealand
- Recognized qualification (Bachelor’s or higher degree)
- Job offer
It is possible to claim the points from any of the above skill indicators mentioned above.
