Starting 29 September 2025, the Parent Boost Visitor Visa opens for applications! This exciting new visa allows eligible parents to spend extended time (up to 5 years) with their families in New Zealand — with the option to apply for a second 5-year visa, totalling up to 10 years!
While not a pathway to residence, it offers flexible travel, enabling parents to leave and return as often as needed. To be eligible, parents must be sponsored by a New Zealand citizen or resident child, meet financial support requirements, and have valid health and insurance cover.
One aspect to note: is that after three years (but before four years), there’s a mid-visa health and compliance check. This ensures parent continue to meet health requirements and maintain acceptable insurance during their stay.
In the video below our Immigration Adviser Vicki-Lee explains key aspects of the Parent Boost Visitor Visa and how it differs from the Parent Resident Visa.
