Yes, you can apply for your New Zealand student visa and your spouse's Partner of a Student Work Visa at the same time. However, your spouse's visa will only be processed after your student visa is approved.

Both of you can travel together once both visas are granted. Your spouse must meet requirements such as proving a genuine relationship and showing sufficient funds.

Visa requirements and processing times are subject to change.
