A New Zealand citizen recently approached our firm seeking help to bring his Filipina partner to New Zealand on a partnership-based work visa. After spending time together in the Philippines, the couple was eager to start their lives in New Zealand but needed professional guidance to ensure their visa application was successful.

The client had been living with his partner in the Philippines for several months, strengthening their bond and establishing a genuine relationship. Ready to take the next step, he reached out to our firm and booked an appointment with Simon, our licensed immigration adviser. They were determined to secure a partnership-based work visa for his partner so that they could move to New Zealand together and start building their future.

Simon and our team carefully reviewed their case, focusing on gathering and presenting strong evidence of their relationship. After collecting all the supporting evidence to make their application more solid, we submitted the work visa application to INZ.

Thanks to our thorough approach and close collaboration with the couple, we successfully obtained the partnership-based work visa for the Filipina partner. With the visa approved, the couple is now preparing to fly to New Zealand and begin their new chapter together.
