4. Dependent children, single adult siblings and children;

All kinds of relatives have clear definitions and different application methods:

1. Dependent children of New Zealand citizens or immigrants. Children can apply for immigration after their parents emigrate. "Children" refers to people who must be under the age of 17 and rely on their parents to provide their main living expenses. They can be unmarried, married or widowed, but they must have no children. When applying for immigration, the "residence application form" filled out by the guarantor must also specify the relationship between the applicant and the guarantor. If an adult (17 years old or older) child applies for immigration, the applicant must be single and childless, including divorced or widowed.

2. Apply for immigration in the name of spouse. It must be proved that the relationship between the two is true and the marriage is legal. According to New Zealand's marriage law, men and women who live together for a long time can also be called spouses. Such "cohabiting spouses" can obtain a temporary entry visa, and after entering the country, they can apply for permanent residency by submitting a formal marriage certificate at least 7 days before the visa expires.

3. Guarantors of married adult children or siblings (including their spouses and unmarried children) must live in New Zealand legally for at least 3 years before they are eligible to apply for married adult children or siblings to immigrate to New Zealand. Applicants must also meet the following conditions:

(1) At least 2 years working experience;

(2) Under the age of 46;

(3) English level can meet the needs of work. At the same time, the English of the applicant's spouse and children above 12 can also meet the needs of daily life (the English level will be evaluated by the consular officials of the embassy when they meet);

(4) There is a letter of appointment to prove that the applicant is employed in 1 full-time and long-term positions related to his training and work experience, and the nature of the work and salary should be stated in the letter of appointment;

(5) If the applicant has accompanying children, his income must meet the prescribed salary and housing standards to ensure that the applicant and his children have enough room and board. The applicant must also sign the 1 declaration document to ensure that he will not ask the New Zealand government for financial or residential welfare assistance.

4. Apply for immigration as a parent. The first condition is that the applicant has children who are New Zealand citizens or immigrants, and provides a guarantee. Secondly, there must be no other children dependent on the applicant for support. Meet one of the following conditions at the same time:

(1) The applicant has no adult children living in the original place of residence;

(2) Most children live legally in New Zealand;

(3) The number of children legally residing in New Zealand is the same as the number of children staying in their places of origin.

Relatives of New Zealand citizens or immigrants are not included in the above four categories of relatives, but there are sufficient reasons, such as economic or emotional dependence on relatives of New Zealand, to apply for immigration on human grounds. The applicant or his guarantor must be able to prove that the applicant's situation is worse than that of other residents of the residence.
