I am a New Zealand citizen and my partner, who is here on a Visitor’s Permit, is pregnant. Will her maternity services be publicly funded?
Yes. The wife or partner of an eligible person is eligible for the same maternity-related services as New Zealand citizens, including antenatal, labour, birth, and post natal services. She will need to show proof that you are her husband or partner, and that you are eligible
How can I demonstrate that I am the partner of an eligible person?
Acceptable proof of partnership includes:
a marriage or civil union certificate, OR
a Visa or Permit granted by Immigration New Zealand on the basis of the relationship, OR
a statutory declaration from both partners, detailing how they meet the definition of “de-facto partner” (including supporting documents relevant under s 2D of the Property (Relationships) Act).作者: zhuzhubao 时间: 2009-12-2 09:10:09
