In a significant policy update, New Zealand has extended the maximum stay duration for partners of work visa holders, impacting both work and visitor visas. Partners of residence class visa holders will now be able to remain in the country for longer, offering families greater flexibility and stability.
This move is designed to support families by allowing them to stay together for extended periods while living and working in New Zealand. The government’s decision aligns with its broader initiative to create a more inclusive environment for visa holders and their loved ones.
By extending visa durations, New Zealand aims to attract more skilled workers, enhancing its reputation as a desirable destination for both professional and family life.
