Your New Zealand Partner Visa Experts


Welcome to Relocate Down Under, where we specialise in helping partners of New Zealand citizens and residents navigate the journey of relocating to New Zealand.

I’m Nicola Crome, a New Zealand Licensed Immigration Adviser based in the UK. As someone who’s personally been through this process - married to a Kiwi and now a Permanent Resident of New Zealand myself - I understand the excitement you are feeling and challenges that can arise.

It all began on a beach walk in Mount Maunganui, where I realised I could help others like me who dream of building a life in New Zealand with their Kiwi partner. Relocate Down Under was created to make this dream accessible and achievable through personalised, expert immigration advice.

What Makes Us Different:


·   Personal Experience: I’ve been through the same journey, so I know the process inside out.

·   Licensed Expertise: As a licensed adviser, I provide guidance that ensures your application meets all the necessary requirements.

·   UK-Based Convenience: No need to deal with time zone differences - I am based right here in the UK, making it easy for you to connect whenever you need.

Whether you are applying for a Resident, Permanent Resident, or Temporary Partner Visa, my goal is to provide you with a stress-free, efficient process that sets you up for success.

What Our clients Say

Here's what some of our happy clients have to say about their experience with Relocate Down Under:

Nicola was outstanding in helping us secure my Permanent Residency visa. She guided us through every step of the process, and was clear, supportive and friendly throughout. We were thrilled to be granted the visa in less than four months after we began working with Nicola. Thank you again.

Jim and Margaux

Nicola was amazing from start to finish. She understood what our requirements were and supported us all the way through a challenging and daunting process. She was very professional and responded quickly to any of our queries. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is applying for a visa.

Fran and Katrina

Nicola was a fantastic help to me during my New Zealand visa application process. She was knowledgeable, always prompt in replying to emails and her advice was clear and easy-to-follow. Nicola took so much of the stress out of the application process and I am really grateful for the support she gave. I would definitely recommend. Thanks Nicola!

Donal and Sam

Nicola was absolutely great throughout the visa application, providing very clear guidance in stages. This made a complicated process much, much easier.

I could never have worked it out myself and, even if I had, I’m convinced that it would have taken twice as long, if successful at all.

I cannot recommend her enough – thanks Nicola, you’ve given us a new start in life.

Wes and Lauren

I cannot recommend Nicola highly enough. Her knowledge of the whole visa process proved invaluable and she was extremely responsive in communicating next steps with us.

She was relentless in checking the status of our application and keeping us informed throughout.

Nicola, we will definitely be in touch when it’s time to apply for the next stage in our visa journey. Thanks very much. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Julia and Leonard

Nicola was a true find when searching for an immigration consultant who had the knowledge and experience to help my partner and I secure a visa to New Zealand, but who could also make a connection with us unlike the larger, faceless corporations in London. From the moment we reached out, Nicola went above and beyond to ensure that we were successful in obtaining a visa. We were kept in the loop every step of the way, with Nicola guiding us and now can say we are finalising the move ready for this year. We are so grateful for Nicola.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out some of the most common questions we are asked about New Zealand Partner Visas.

Question 1: Who can apply for a Partner of a New Zealander Visa?

If you are the partner of a New Zealand citizen or resident and you are living together in a genuine and stable relationship, you may be eligible for a New Zealand Partnership Temporary or Resident Visa. Depending on how long you have been living together and what you wish to do in New Zealand, you may be able to apply for a Partner of a New Zealander Work Visa, a Partner of a New Zealander Visitor Visa, a Partner of a New Zealander Resident Visa or even a Partner of a New Zealander Permanent Resident Visa. Take our free New Zealand Partnership Eligibility Assessment to find out if you’re eligible.

Question 2: I've been living with my Kiwi partner for less than 12 months. Can I still get a Partnership Visa?

If you and your Kiwi partner have been living together in a genuine and stable relationship, but it has been for less than 12 months, you may still be able to get a Partner of a New Zealander Work or Visitor Visa, that can be granted for 12 months. Get in touch to see if this could be an option for you.

Question 3: How can I get a Permanent Resident Visa as the partner of a New Zealander?

If you have been living together with your New Zealand partner for at least 5 years outside of New Zealand and they are a citizen (rather than a resident) you may be eligible for a Permanent Resident Visa. This is a great opportunity, if you meet the eligibility criteria, as you usually need to spend at least 2 years’ on a Resident Visa before applying for permanent residence. Take our Eligibility Assessment to find out more.

Question 4: What evidence do I need to prove my relationship with my New Zealand partner?

Immigration New Zealand require a significant amount of evidence to support the fact that you are living together with your New Zealand partner and to prove that your relationship is genuine, stable and likely to endure. When you become a client, we will provide you with a comprehensive Document Check List, tailored to your individual situation, that will detail all the documents you will need for your visa application. Many people are surprised at how much evidence is required - it's more than just a marriage certificate (and no, it doesn't matter if you aren't married).
