What's the Parent Retirement Resident Visa about?
The Parent Retirement Resident Visa offers a unique way for parents of New Zealand citizens or residents to settle in New Zealand for good—as long as they can support themselves. This visa caters to parents who wish to spend their retirement years close to their children and experience a tranquil life in Aotearoa while investing in the country.
Unlike other parent visa options, this visa needs proof of income, assets, and ability to invest. If your parents can show they can support themselves without using public services, they might qualify for this visa type.
At Ezy Immigration, we make the tricky process of applying for this visa easier by making sure all money and residency rules are met.
Who Can Get This Parent Retirement Resident Visa?
This visa works well for:
- Parents of grown-up New Zealand citizens or residents.
- Retired people who want to live in NZ for good.
- People who can invest in New Zealand and prove they’re independent.
Families who want to bring different generations together while following immigration rules.
Key Requirements You Should Know

- Be the parent of a New Zealand citizen or resident child.
