Under Parent policy, the sponsor and/or their partner must meet a minimum income requirement to show that they can support the applicant(s), unless the sponsor obtained residence in New Zealand as a refugee, or the sponsor is aged 65 years or older.
The current minimum income figure is $29,897.92 (gross) per annum. This is based on the unemployment benefit (married and civil union rate) plus the maximum accommodation supplement as set by the New Zealand Government. This must be met by income obtained from:
•sustained paid employment; and/or
•regular self-employment; and/or
•regular investment income.
The income must be personal income. Income earned by another legal entity, such as a business or a trust, cannot be included unless it has been paid directly to the sponsor and/or their partner in the form of wages or drawings.
Evidence of meeting the minimum income requirement
Evidence of meeting the minimum income requirement for sponsors may include, but is not limited to, original or certified copies of the following documents:
•an Inland Revenue Department Summary of Earnings; and/or
•wage slips; and/or
•a current employment contract; and/or
•bank statements or any other documents from financial institutions.
Questions and answers
Whose income can be counted towards meeting the minimum income requirement?
The income must be from the sponsor and/or their partner.
I do not have any income, but my partner has an income over $30,000 per year. Can I sponsor my parents if my partner has agreed to contribute towards meeting the minimum income requirement?
Yes. You will need to declare on the Sponsorship Form for residence in New Zealand (INZ 1024) that your partner will be contributing towards meeting the minimum income requirement and tell us your partner’s name.

While we welcome your parents to New Zealand, you must be an eligible sponsor, and your parents will need to meet a number of requirements before they can apply for residence under the Family Category (Parent Policy).
In some situations grandparents and legal guardians are also considered as parents.

If your grandparents or legal guardians are applying, they must show evidence of their relationship to you and evidence that your parents are deceased.作者: ~Emily~ 时间: 2010-5-4 11:20:44
