Wife planning for PG Diploma in applied science, what type of visa will I get as a dependent?


My wife is planning for PG Diploma in applied science what type of visa will I get as a dependent?

Ans. If you're if you are applying to come on the postgraduate diploma and if the spouse also intends to enter on a work visa if you are applying before the 26th of November 2018 then the spouse would be eligible for a work visa 50:19under the partnership category but if you are applying for of course after the 26th of November or if your student visa is granted after the 26th of November then the spouse work visa is applicable only if you are opting for a master or a Ph.D. course if you are not opting for a Ph.D. course or a masters if you are opting for a course which is below level 9 or level 10 like a postgraduate diploma which is level 8 or looking at a level 7 course then it has to be a specific match to the long term skills shortage list of New Zealand so to be on the safe side any of you're planning to come on the work visa as a spouse to New Zealand before the policy changes I recommend that you put your application send before the 26th of November to be on the safe side if you cross that particular date then the option is that you do not apply for a work visa as a spouse but you can apply for a visitor visa as a spouse see that year through while the spouse completes the course and then once the spouse gets the post-study work visa then you would then be eligible to work for a work visa because now you are the spouse who was the student is no longer on a student visa but has moved onto a work visa so the spa would also become eligible for a Work visa.
