Hello,
Anyone have links to old threads re: 12 months living together for Residence under Partnership?
I first came here to NZ via the Visitor Visa under Partnership for 5 months. Wondering if this 5 months under the (Visitor Visa Partnership) can be counted/added to the 12 months requirement of Living together to be eligible to apply for Residence under Partnership?
The NZI website states 'Living together' does not mean occupying other separate homes (something along those lines) however on the 5 months I first came I stayed with my NZ citizen Partner the full 5 months (can't say we were officially living together as I was only here on a Visitor Visa- Partnership so of cause when visa expired I would have needed to return back overseas to other home to stay. Until my next visa application was approved (never liked the risk of staying on interim Visa to wait for outcome for next visa application) hence why always returned back overseas to wait.
