Dependent Child Resident Visa

A New Zealand citizen or resident parent living in New Zealand may sponsor a dependent child aged 24 or younger who is single and meets the age-based dependency rules. Older applicants face stricter evidence requirements for being unmarried, childless and financially dependent; custody and the other parent's consent may also be required.
