Planning a NZ partner visa? The rules changed on 25 Sept 2026. 🇳🇿

Both partners must now be 18+, and INZ only counts relationship evidence from when both were 18.
For young couples, timing is everything. 🧵

Why it matters:
1️⃣ Both partners must be 18+ on the day you apply
2️⃣ Only evidence dated after both turned 18 counts
3️⃣ Residence needs 12 months living together, so the practical minimum age is 19

Map your timeline from the date the younger partner turned 18, and build your evidence from there.
