I do not have any income, but my partner has an income over $30,000 per year. Can I sponsor my parents if my partner has agreed to contribute towards meeting the minimum income requirement?
Yes. You will need to declare on the Sponsorship Form for residence in New Zealand (INZ 1024) that your partner will be contributing towards meeting the minimum income requirement and tell us your partner’s name.
Can I and my partner sponsor more than one set of parents for residence (eg, my parents and my partner’s parents)?
Yes. Sponsors can sponsor more than one set of parents for residence. The minimum income figure will remain the same regardless of the number of people that a sponsor is supporting.
