What visa do I need to get married with a New Zealander in New Zealand?

I think you need to apply for an unmarried couple visa instead of a tourist visa, because you are getting married. What are you afraid of? Travel? I doubt how much financial ability you have. If you want to stay in New Zealand after marriage, you can also apply for a work visa. The premise of this is that you and your boyfriend are really married. I think you feel the same way. Then you should discuss with your boyfriend how to get married, where to live and work after marriage, have a general plan, and then prepare materials to apply for a visa.

There are two kinds of marriage visas in New Zealand, one is for unmarried couples and the other is for marriage and reunion. The visa for unmarried couples requires that one of them must be a New Zealand citizen or a permanent resident of New Zealand, and Australian citizens can also do so. After marriage, the other side of the visa, that is, the one who does not meet the requirements, will have the opportunity to become a permanent resident of New Zealand. If you successfully apply for this kind of visa, you must marry the other party within three months of entry. You can apply for a temporary residence permit after marriage. In this case, in addition to the marriage visa, everyone will also get a work visa. The temporary stay is two years. If they are still married for two years, they can become permanent residents. In addition to providing some necessary information, you should also provide proof of your own funds to prove that your living expenses for one year after entering New Zealand can be guaranteed. The other is a residence visa for marriage and reunion, which is similar to a tourist visa for unmarried couples, but provided that they are married, the materials to be prepared need to include proof of their relationship and prove that they are indeed husband and wife, and the asset certificate to be prepared this time needs to prove that they can provide living expenses in New Zealand for two years.

Immigration New Zealand has requirements for both parties to a marriage.

The requirements for parties in New Zealand are:

1, must be a New Zealand citizen or legal resident;

2. Good conduct, that is, within 7 years before the spouse applies, the party in New Zealand must be able to provide the innocence certificate issued by the country where he has lived outside New Zealand. If you have lived in a country for less than 12 months, you don't need to provide the innocence certificate of that country;

3. Willing to vouch for your spouse.

For spouses who apply to settle in New Zealand, the following basic conditions must be met:

1. The de facto couple who lived together as New Zealand citizens or residents for more than 12 months before applying for immigration (proof of marriage relationship such as marriage certificate or civil union certificate is required);

2. pass the medical examination;

3. Good conduct, that is, within 7 years before applying, you should be able to provide a certificate of innocence issued by a country that has lived outside New Zealand. Those who have lived in a country for less than 12 months do not need to provide proof of no crime in that country;

4. New Zealand citizens or residents (that is, your other half in New Zealand) are willing to sponsor you.

Matters needing attention in handling spouse's open work visa:

Married to a New Zealand resident or citizen, or living together for 0/2 months, you can immediately apply for a spouse-type open work permit/visa without providing a job invitation. After the open work visa is approved, you can engage in any occupation in any field in New Zealand and apply for settlement.

Due to the increasingly strict examination of spouses' visas, the Immigration Bureau stipulates that applicants have the responsibility and obligation to provide as many documents as possible to prove the authenticity and stability of cohabitation. Immigration also requires that New Zealand residents or citizens have not sponsored other spouses in the past five years. The duration of the spouse's work visa is one year, which can be extended after one year until the application for settlement is approved. At present, the approval time for such work permits is about 4-8 weeks.

For couples who have just married or lived together for a long time, the Immigration Bureau sometimes takes an interview to judge the authenticity of the relationship between husband and wife. The interview time ranges from 20 minutes to 2-3 hours, and the questions involve all aspects of life. As long as the answers to individual questions are inconsistent, it is possible to refuse the visa, so you must make full preparations before the interview.

Matters needing attention in handling partnership residence visa:

Immigration New Zealand stipulates that when applying for New Zealand spouse to settle down, both husband and wife must have met before and lived together for more than 12 months. In the past five years, one of New Zealand residents or citizens has not sponsored another spouse. Like applying for a work visa, applicants are required to provide as many documents as possible to prove cohabitation, such as * * * same account number, telephone list, photos, * * * same property, etc. , may be asked for an interview.

For couples who have just married or lived together for a short time, the approval time will be as long as 6- 12 months to examine the authenticity and stability of the relationship between husband and wife. During the inspection and waiting for approval, the Immigration Bureau will issue an open work visa to the applicant. In addition, the applicant must hold a valid visa when submitting the spouse's application for settlement. If the visa has expired, the local immigration office in New Zealand will not accept the spouse to settle down, and the applicant should return to his place of origin to submit an application.

The application materials mainly include:

Application form;

Passport or identity document;

Two passport-sized photos;

Birth certificate;

A medical report issued within three months;

A certificate of innocence issued six months ago;

Proof of marital relationship.

Marriage immigrants, New Zealand is different from other types of immigrants such as investment immigrants, skilled immigrants and employer-sponsored immigrants. It does not require the applicant to invest in advance or find a good job or have certain professional skills. You can apply as long as you are the spouse of a New Zealand citizen or resident and the other person is willing to provide you with a guarantee. But it must be a real husband-wife relationship. The Immigration Bureau does not allow applicants to immigrate to New Zealand by means of fake marriage.

Because tourist visas are also strictly examined in Australia and New Zealand, because marriage visas are much better than tourist visas, it is easier to transfer to other visas in the future.
