Hi everyone,

So my partner and I are thinking of moving to New Zealand. He is a NZ citizen and I'm Irish - we've been living together for almost 5 years (in September) in Australia. I currently have the 461 New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship visa here in Australia. I guess the million dollar question is which visa to go on for NZ.

We've done some light researching into the Partner of a New Zealander Resident Visa but on the website it states that we could actually go for the Permanent Resident Visa as in September, we've been living together for 5 years. Is this true? Because if it is, we would wait to apply. Or would we have to apply for the Partner of a New Zealander Resident Visa first?

So many questions but this would be the most important.

Thanks!
