Are you ready to give your parents the gift of a lifetime? As a New Zealand resident or citizen, you can sponsor your parents for a Parent Resident Visa. This will allow them to live with you in this beautiful country. Don’t wait any longer to make your family’s dreams a reality!
It is possible for parents of New Zealand citizens who have already acquired citizenship to apply for permanent residency in New Zealand through the Parent Resident Visa program. This visa program, which is designed to support skilled migration, allows New Zealand residents and citizens to sponsor their parents for residence in New Zealand. The annual quota for this program is limited to 2500, with the cost starting from NZD 3180. The selection of applications for this program is done through either a queue or ballot pool, depending on the time of submission.
The Parent Resident Visa program was restarted on October 12, 2022, with a revised set of requirements for sponsors. New Zealand began selecting expressions of interest (EOIs) on November 14, 2022. The program now requires sponsors to earn at least 1.5 times the median wage in New Zealand, with the limit increasing by half the median wage for each additional parent or joint sponsor. Under the revised guidelines, two adult children can jointly sponsor a parent, whereas previously only an adult child and their partner could serve as joint sponsors. The other requirements for the Parent Resident Visa program remain unchanged.
The visa process has two stages: Expression of Interest (EOI) and Invitation To Apply (ITA). INZ can approve a maximum of 2000 visas per year for EOIs submitted before 10 October 2022, and a maximum of 500 visas per year for EOIs submitted on or after 10 October 2022. EOIs in the ballot expire 2 years after they are submitted.
After October 10, 2022, 2,500 visas will be available for those in the ballot. Parents of New Zealand citizens and residents can apply for a Parent Retirement Resident Visa or a Parent and Grandparent Visitor Visa.
