We currently reside in South Africa but want to immigrate to New Zealand.
If you or your husband apply for a temporary work visa as a result of getting the offer of a skilled job in NZ, you will need to apply for a visitor's visa for your 2-year-old, linking this to the work visa. You fill in the form as if you were the child, then sign on his behalf as the parent at the end. He will then be issued with a visa to match the work visa for length of time.
If you apply for Residence under SMC, the whole family will be included on that application, and if the main applicant is successful, each member of the family will be granted Residence.
