Guest carlajmail Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Ok so. I met my husband 2 1/2 years ago and we have tripped around asia and europe, got married and vola. Now it is time to go home, however HOME is now Australia as thats where mum, dad, my brother and sister all live! Am I an eligible NZ citizen to apply for my UK born husband to migrate to Australia? Or do we have to banish ourselves to NZ to gain his residency there then go the AUs in a few years time. How complex is love? Thanks carla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hi Carla Unfortunately I don't have the answers for you but I wanted to say hi and welcome to the forum, hopefully someone else can advise. K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockDr Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 While NZ citizens can live and work in Australia under a special visa, they don't have the full rights associated with a PR visa. In the long term, it would be better even for you to get a proper PR visa. Would either of you be eligible for a skilled visa? What are your occupations? and which state are you looking at moving to?

Thanks carla You are unlikely to meet the criteria as an “eligible New Zealand” Citizen but you may want to begin your research by looking at the New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship Visa (Subclass 461).
