Yes, you can accompany your husband while he is studying in New Zealand, depending on your individual circumstances and the type of visa he holds. Here are some common options:

  1. Partner of a Student Visa: If your husband is studying in New Zealand on a student visa, you may be eligible to apply for a Partner of a Student Visa. This visa allows you to live, work, and study in New Zealand for the same duration as your husband’s student visa.
  2. Visitor Visa: If your husband’s course duration is short or if you plan to stay in New Zealand temporarily, you can apply for a visitor visa. This visa allows you to stay in New Zealand for a specified period, typically up to 9 months.
  3. Work Visa: If you want to work in New Zealand while accompanying your husband, you can apply for a work visa based on your qualifications, skills, or job offer from a New Zealand employer. This would allow you to work in New Zealand for a specified period.
  4. Dependent Child Visa: If you have dependent children, they may also be eligible to accompany you and your husband to New Zealand on a dependent child visa.

It’s essential to carefully review the visa requirements and eligibility criteria for each option to determine the best course of action for your situation. Additionally, ensure that you meet all health and character requirements and provide necessary documentation to support your visa application. It’s recommended to consult with an immigration advisor or visit the official website of Immigration New Zealand for personalized guidance and accurate information.

Yes. New Zealand government allows partners of student visa holders to accompany them to New Zealand in order to let the loved ones stay together on Student Work Visa for partners. Even the partners can work and study until the student visa is not expired. But once the visa expires, they need to return to their home country.
