Can my husband's profile help in applying for a visa for me in New Zealand?

Yes, your husband's profile can help you apply for a visa to join him in New Zealand. If he holds a New Zealand student visa for an eligible course, you may qualify for a Partner of a Student Work Visa. This allows you to live and work in New Zealand for the same duration as his visa.
- Genuine relationship proof is required.
- No job offer needed before applying.
- You must meet health and character requirements.
If your husband is a New Zealand citizen or resident, you may be eligible for a Partner of a New Zealander Work Visa.
For next steps and document guidance, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
