Can New Zealand accompanying students work locally?

You can work locally, but you must meet certain standards and apply for a work visa.

If a student is studying for a master's degree in New Zealand or there is a long-term lack of professional courses in New Zealand, the spouse of the applicant with a student visa can apply for a partner visa. The main advantage of applying for this visa is that the spouse can get a full-time work visa issued by the New Zealand Immigration Bureau without financial guarantee, so the spouse can take up any job in New Zealand during the accompanying study.

The key to the accompanying visa for working is that the applicant and the student visa holder should have a stable relationship, which can be proved by marriage certificate, bank account number, real estate and relevant evidence that can prove the stable relationship between them.
