I'm Dutch and married a Kiwi. Can I still live and work in Australia?
I have a Dutch passport but have been living in New Zealand for more then 20 years, I have married a Kiwi and now we would like to move to Australia, but i dont want to chance my dutch passport. Am I able to live and work in australia as well without having to leave the country every 6 months to renew my visa?
You should look into applying for a New Zealand family relationship visa, which is for close family of New Zealand citizens who are not NZ citizens themselves: http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/461/ This will be a much better option than a holiday visa.
Hi, i have got a tricky one here :) I have got a dutch passport, recently got permant residency for australia which is linked to my passport number. Now got married last and would like to take my partners surname on. Do i have to apply for a whole new passport and let immi the new passport number know? Hope any one can help me as even the dutch embassy here struggles with that one! Thanks
