Hi all
I was wondering if anyone had any experience that they could share getting a work permit to be with a partner in NZ.
My partner is a NZ national, we met while she was on a working holiday visa within the UK. We have been together for a year and two months now but we dont have the all important proof of living together for 12 months so I can join her.
I cannot apply for a working holiday visa as I am over 30.
Since my partner left the UK in Sept we looked to getting her back to the UK but that was a very big brick wall we hit there.
I went over to see her at the start of Dec and I have to admit, I loved the place.
We both desperatley want to be together, so my question is, Can I get a work permit without a job to go and join her to gain the year we need to apply for further visas? This would allow us to be together while I can earn a crust.
Any help would be appreciated as my head now hurts after reading web sites.....

Thanks
Kenny
