The New Zealand Government has announced a new long-term visitor visa designed to reunite families and strengthen New Zealand\u2019s appeal to highly skilled migrants: the <\/span>Parent Boost Visitor Visa<\/a><\/span>. <\/span>This visa offers a unique opportunity for parents of New Zealand citizens and residents to visit their families for up to five years at a time, with the possibility of a second visa extending their stay to ten years, provided all eligibility requirements continue to be met.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This new visa aims to foster family connections while ensuring that public services are not overstressed. Importantly, the Parent Boost Visitor Visa does not provide a direct pathway to permanent residence. For those seeking residency, the <\/span>Parent Resident Visa<\/a><\/span> remains the appropriate pathway.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
