Many individuals who are already living in New Zealand want their close family to join them, while family members and relatives who live overseas want to visit New Zealand to be near their relatives. If you are sponsored by a family member who is already a New Zealand citizen or resident, you can apply to live in New Zealand.
If you are the partner of a New Zealand resident and want to move to that country to join your partner, you must apply for New Zealand residency. Your partner must be a New Zealand citizen or resident who may sponsor you.
