Please help regarding girlfriend's visitor visa

[Yeppy]

Hello,

I am on resident visa. My girlfriend lives in India. She wants to visit me for a week and my question is which visa does she need to apply?

Thank you.

She could apply for a partnership-based visitor visa.

She could apply for a partnership-based visitor visa.

Thanks EGoodhue for the reply but I haven't married yet so we don't have a marriage certificate. Does marriage certificate necessary for this visa?

You don't have to be married, but (as you'll see under Your relationship with your partner on this INZ factsheet https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...-visa#criteria) you do have to prove a live-in relationship.

If you don't have and never have had a live-in relationship, then a visitor visa https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...-visa#criteria doesn't have this condition.
