Hi there,
Looking at a Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa currently as I may have a job offer on the way from an approved employer. Other option is SMC.
I'm not sure on the pathway for my wife to get her visa under the Talent Visa with me as the principle. It states that partners can't be included and that 'they can apply for visas based on their relationship to you.'
https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...residence-visa I'm not sure exactly what that means, I've read on another thread the applications are nearly wholly separate, save from a covering letter linking the two when sending them in and that's it. Is there a page that outlines more details on the Partner Specifics? I've seen options for both Workers and Visitors being an option (worker preferred!) But wondering more about language, or qualifications/skills requirements, or what jobs they would be able to do? My wife is a non native English speaker, so not sure if there is an IELTs threshold for this. I see there will be when it comes to PR later though.
I've seen this as a relevant link https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...k-visa-holders but it doesn't cover language requirements, or many details as far as I can see?
-oh one more thing, can this be applied for and visas changed whilst in NZ?
I'd be changing from IEP to Talent, my wife from Visitor to 'Partner of a Worker Work Visa?'
Cheers!
