The Parent Boost Visitor Visa is New Zealand’s newest long-term visitor visa, designed to bring families closer together. It gives parents of New Zealand citizens or residents the chance to stay with their children for up to five years at a time. What makes it even more special is that parents can apply for a second visa, meaning they could spend a total of up to 10 years in New Zealand. Applications open on 29 September 2025, and the visa is focused on family reunions—it doesn’t lead to permanent residency.
