Bringing your parents to New Zealand on the Parent Boost Visitor Visa
The Parent Boost Visitor Visa lets eligible parents of New Zealand citizens and residents stay in New Zealand for up to 5 years. They can leave and re-enter as many times as they want during that period, and there is an option to apply for a second 5-year visa. It is a visitor visa, not a pathway to residence. Parents must be sponsored by an adult child, meet health and character standards, meet one of three financial options, and hold acceptable insurance. This guide explains how the visa works, based on Immigration New Zealand information. Always check the current official requirements before applying. This is general guidance, not individual immigration advice.
