From 28 February 2023, the New Zealand Government is expanding work visa eligibility criteria for victims of family violence, to include partners of temporary visa holders.
You can now apply for this visa if you have experienced family violence and have been in a partnership with a New Zealand citizen or resident or hold a partnership-based visa with a temporary migrant.
This visa allows visa holders in New Zealand, who have experienced family violence, to live and work in New Zealand for up to six months. With this visa, you may work for any employer, anywhere in New Zealand.
If you are in immediate danger, call 111 and ask for the police. If not safe to speak, push 55 on a mobile (any number on a landline) to be put through to the Police. Or you may ask for Fire Service as they are often quicker.
