New Zealand Introduces 10-Year Visa for Parents of Migrants
New Zealand will launch the Parent Boost Visa on September 29, 2025, allowing parents of temporary residents to stay for up to 10 years. The multiple-entry visa offers an initial five-year stay, with a second five-year term available upon meeting eligibility.
The visa supports family reunification but does not lead to permanent residency. Applicants must be sponsored, have health insurance, meet income or savings thresholds, and pass health checks. The application costs NZD $3,000, with discounts for Pacific applicants.
