Two important changes to the New Zealand partner visa application process have come into effect since the beginning of August 2009.
The first change relates to the fees for family class applications, including marriage visa and de facto partner visa applications, lodged outside New Zealand from the 17th August onwards. It is important to note that those applications received after the 17th August with the old fee will not be accepted.
