The subclass 461 visa allows non-New Zealand citizens to travel to and live in Australia with a New Zealand citizen family member. The visa allows you to live and work in Australia for up to 5 years.

The minimum requirements of this visa are set out below:

 

Family Member Status:

You must be a non-New Zealand citizen who is:

  • the spouse or de facto partner of a New Zealand citizen OR
  • the dependent child of a New Zealand citizen (or the New Zealand citizen’s spouse or de facto partner), or that person’s own dependent child

 

New Zealand Citizen:

Your New Zealand citizen family member must be:

  • in Australia as the holder of a subclass 444 Special Category visa OR
  • outside Australia, and travel with you to Australia, where they will be granted a subclass 444 visa

 

  NOTE: The New Zealand citizen must NOT be an ‘Eligible New Zealand Citizen’ (ENZC); that is, a person who arrived in Australia on a New Zealand passport; was in Australia on 26 February 2001 (and the 12 months prior to that date); and was assessed as a protected subclass 444 holder prior to 26 February 2004. An ENZC can sponsor family members for an Australian permanent residency visa.
