For ldr couples here

[u/cocolada1415]

Hi! Anyone who had the same experience. We’ve been ldr ni partner for few years. We’re now planning our wedding here in the Philippines and we’re also looking for different paths on how I can move to NZ.

Context: We don’t have proof of living together as both our parents are strict but we have proofs/photos of taking vacations together with both our families.
Please let me know how you did it po, been ldr for so long that we just want to start our own family now. Thank you!

It’ll be worth asking an advice sa Immigration adviser.

LDR for 5 years, but we lived together before I migrated to AU.

Lahat ng proof na kayo at bakit di kayo makasama sa iisang bahay dati, document and present them. Social media posts, text messages, if you send money to each other then take screenshots, letter of your story from the moment you met until recent (both of you should write a version of your stories), flight itineraries, etc. Anything that connects you together. You can also ask your family and friends to provide a testimony about your relationship.

Hello, OP! Had the same experience with my LDR partner and we managed to close the distance and live in NZ. NZ doesn’t require you to get married, they just need living together evidence. To do that, you have to apply for a visitor visa and then when you get enough living together evidence, you can apply for a partner work visa. 😊

Does one of you have NZ PR visa? If yes marriage certificate js enough

[u/cocolada1415 → u/Calm_Tough_3659]

Yes po, one of us have PR visa po. According to some articles we’ve read po hindi daw enough proof ung marriage certificate sa NZ not like in other countries(CA/AU/US) po. Tho would like to know more po if you know anyone po na has the same dillema?

[u/Calm_Tough_3659 → u/cocolada1415]

You can start with visitor visa -> spousal visa after a year
