NZ Announces Long-Term Parent Visa for Extended Family Visits

New Zealand is starting a new visa called the Parent Boost Visitor Visa.

This visa allows parents of people who live in New Zealand to visit for up to five years, with a possible extension to ten years.

To get this visa, you must be sponsored by your adult child who is a New Zealand citizen or resident.

You need to meet health and character requirements and also show that you have enough money to support yourself.

After three years, you'll have a health check before you can continue with your visa.

This visa allows multiple entries, but it is not a way to become a permanent resident.
