You'll find mention of dependent children here. http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...ply/essential/
And for your partner, you need to look at a partner sponsored temporary work visa - this can be put in at the same time as your own, with a supporting letter linking the two applications. http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...milystream.htm
Alternatively I think just a tourist visa with a validity date as yours; not sure though.
Thanks for your replies. JandM - It is now bit clear to me that my wife would require form 1146.
Still I can't find a form for dependent children aged 5&1. If we go as a tourist/visitor, I am not sure if my daughter will be able to go to school.
You need a student visa for the school-age daughter - there's a link on that page I sent you before.
Many thanks. I was reading about the student visa and it mentinned mainly about universities etc.
Will I have to pay fee for my daughter to go to school? My initial job offer is for 2 years.
NZ state schools have a system of 'donations' to help finance peripheral matters, which everybody pays (well, almost - see old threads), but apart from that, once your daughter has her student visa, you won't have to pay for her, unless you decide to send her to a private school. http://www.minedu.govt.nz/Parents/Al...Donations.aspx

Much clear now. Many thanks JandM.
