After how many months of being in the country can my wife join me on a spouse visa in Ireland/New Zealand?

In New Zealand, your wife can apply to join you on a Partner of a Student Work Visa as soon as you hold a valid student visa and can support her application - there is no required waiting period after your arrival. For Ireland, your spouse can apply for a Join Family visa while you are studying, but the processing time can vary depending on current immigration timelines.
