How do I lodge a visa application for a child adopted by a New Zealand resident?
Adopted children can apply for visitor visas to New Zealand for the purpose of being united with their adoptive parents. The visitor visa policy has three policy categories under which the adoptive children applications may be processed. These are v3.20 (Dependent Children of NZ citizens/residents), v3.25 (Children Entering NZ for Adoption), and v3.30 (Children adopted overseas before their New Zealand citizenship is confirmed). The checklist for lodging an application on the basis of adoption by a New Zealand resident sets out the circumstances and processes for lodging a visa application for children adopted by a New Zealand resident.
