Parent Residency Visa - Live in New Zealand permanently
The parent residency visa enables you to join your adult New Zealand citizen or resident child. As this visa grants permanent residency, you'll be able to immigrate permanently. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to apply if you have dependent children
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?
To apply for a Parent Resident Visa, you must:
- Have an adult child that is a New Zealand citizen or resident to act as your sponsor
- Not have dependent children
- Have an acceptable level of English
- Meet New Zealand’s health and character requirements
CAN I INCLUDE MY PARTNER IN MY APPLICATION?
You can include your partner in your visa application. Immigration New Zealand recognises legal marriages, civil unions and de facto relationships.
WHAT ARE THE FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SPONSORSHIP?
Immigration New Zealand bases the amount adult children need to sponsor their parents for a Parent Resident Visa on the New Zealand median income. The amount increases for joint sponsors and/or each additional parent. Please speak with our licensed advisor for guidance on this matter.
OTHER INFORMATION
You'll submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to show your interest in applying for a Parent Residency Visa to Immigration New Zealand. Your Expression of Interest will include personal information and
information about your family, partner, and sponsor.
You'll get an invitation to apply if Immigration New Zealand selects your EOI from the pool, after which you can submit your residency application. You can apply from overseas or while in Australia.
