You might not know this, but for offshore spouse visa applicants, the New Zealand backdoor is actually the smartest move. With Australia's insane migration planning levels and ministerial direction 117, 117 offshore spouse visas are barely, if at all, getting processed. So if you're an Australian citizen, here's the play move to New Zealand. It costs about $4,000 for a New Zealand partner visa. Get your partner over and guess what? The children come free! Yes, free! Unlike Australia's $3,000 fee, which is criminal. In just six months, you could be living in mountains, snowfields, the whole dream! And after five years in New Zealand, your partner can apply for New Zealand citizenship for just $400! Grab their Kiwi passport for 200, which is 40% of the price of an Australian and then you can return to Australia on a special category live here for four years and then apply for Australian citizenship, all without paying the 11,700 partner visa fee. Sure, you do spend five years in New Zealand, at least you're together, safe and not being ripped off. The other options while flying your partner in and out on tourist visas, even if you can even get one, or waiting for the next election hoping things change. But by then there could be 200,000 people in the queue. So if you can't get priority processing for your spouse, New Zealand might be your best shot. Have a great day!
