Hi,
I am filling my wife's “Partner of New Zeland work visa” category and I would like to seek your guidance for the following question,
How will you be financially supported in New Zeland? – The options are
a) I have sufficient funds to support my stay,
b) My sponsor is financially supporting my stay,
c) My supporting person is financially supporting my stay
Kindly note that I have received my Accredited work visa for the period of 30 months and I will be travelling in November to New Zeland. So I strongly believe that my salary in New Zeland will be good enough to support my wife. So do I need to choose Sponsor or a Supporting person in the above (option A doesn't work for us)?
In case If I had to choose option b - One of the questions in the “Sponsorship Form for Temporary Entry (INZ 1025)” states that I must be a New Zeland citizen or residence class visa holder to be eligible to sponsor. Does this mean with the work visa, I cannot sponsor my wife?
In case If I had to choose option c – I need to provide my wife's bank statement details with 6 months history to support the application. So any idea how much balance we should have?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
