New Zealand: New Visa for Relatives of Ukrainian Citizens Launched

Until March 15, 2023, eligible family members in New Zealand can nominate their parents, grandparents, siblings and adult children in Ukraine for the new 2022 Special Ukraine Visa by completing an expression of interest form. An eligible family member must be a New Zealand national or resident visa holder; live in New Zealand regularly; have been born in Ukraine or held citizenship or permanent residence in Ukraine; and must meet the requirements to sponsor a temporary-class visa. Once approved, the visa grants residence and work rights in New Zealand for two years.
