After obtaining PR in New Zealand, can I bring my spouse and child, and what is the process for enrolling my child in school?
Yes, after obtaining Permanent Residency (PR) in New Zealand, you can bring your spouse and child to live with you.
- Spouse: You can sponsor your legal spouse or partner for a resident visa. Proof of your relationship, such as marriage certificates and evidence of living together, is required.
- Child: You can sponsor your dependent child (under 25, unmarried, and financially dependent) for a resident visa. Birth certificates and proof of support are needed.
For school enrolment, your child will be considered a domestic student and can attend state schools without international fees. The process includes choosing a school, checking if you live within its zone, contacting the school for enrolment requirements, and submitting documents like birth certificate and proof of PR.
