New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 461)

New Zealand Family Relationship Visa (Subclass 461)

New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship Visa (Subclass 461) is a temporary visa option for individuals who are in a relationship with a New Zealand citizen and wish to join or remain with their partner in Australia. This visa allows the holder to live, work, and study in Australia for up to five years.

This visa recognizes the importance of family relationships and provides a means for families to stay together and support each other.

The Subclass 461 visa is a temporary visa, which means that it provides a pathway for individuals to live in Australia for a specified period. However, holders of this visa may be eligible to apply for further visas to extend their stay in Australia if they continue to meet the visa requirements.

To be eligible for the Subclass 461 visa, applicants must be in a genuine and continuing relationship with a New Zealand citizen who holds a Special Category (subclass 444) visa. They must also meet health and character requirements and demonstrate that they have adequate health insurance for their stay in Australia.

Eligibility Criteria

Be in a genuine and ongoing relationship with a New Zealand citizen who is either an eligible New Zealand citizen or a holder of a special category visa (subclass 444).
Be able to provide evidence of your relationship, such as joint financial commitments, shared household responsibilities, and social aspects of your relationship.
Be outside Australia when you apply and when the visa is granted (if applying from outside Australia).
Meet health and character requirements.
