If you have dependent children you

If you have dependent children you will have
to show that you will meet a minimum income
requirement to ensure that you can support
yourself and your dependants if you come to
New Zealand. For the current figure, go to
www.immigration.govt.nz or contact your
nearest INZ office.
If you and your partner both have an offer of
employment in New Zealand, both of your wages
or salaries may be taken into account when
determining if the minimum income requirement
18 – Self-Assessment Guide for Residence in New Zealand - July 2015
is met, provided (at the time the application is
assessed) an immigration officer is satisfied
that your relationship meets our minimum
requirements for recognition of partnerships
(see Partnership Instructions). The second offer
of employment must meet all the requirements
for an acceptable offer of employment except
the requirement that the offer be for full-time
employment.
