Family members of NZ citizens or residents who do not hold relationship-based visas
If you are a partner, dependent child, or legal guardian of a New Zealand citizen or resident and you do not have a visa based on this relationship — like a partner visa — you may be able to travel to New Zealand, but you must be travelling with your New Zealand citizen or resident family member or normally live in New Zealand.
You should submit a request to travel to confirm that you can travel.
