What is a New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship visa (Subclass 461)?
The subclass 461 visa enables a person who is not a New Zealand citizen but is a member of a family unit of a New Zealand citizen that currently holds or is eligible to hold a Special Category visa (subclass 444), to live, work and study in Australia for 5 years.
Sponsors must be a New Zealand citizen, however they cannot be classed as an “eligible New Zealand citizen” for immigration purposes. This category can include New Zealand citizens who were in Australia on or before 26 February 2001.
Eligibility requirements for a Subclass 461 visa
The following criteria must be met to be eligible for the 461 visa:
- You are not an Australian citizen
- You are not a New Zealand citizen
- You have a relationship with a New Zealand citizen as a spouse or child
- You meet the health and character requirements
- You hold private health insurance
Benefits of the Subclass 461 visa
The subclass 461 visa is a great pathway for eligible family members of New Zealand citizens. Its benefits include the ability to:
- Be onshore or offshore when applying for this visa
- Work or study in Australia
- 進出澳大利亞
- Include other eligible family members in the application

Subclass 461 visa checklist
Subclass 461 visa applications are paper-based applications that cannot be lodged online and require an extensive amount of evidentiary documentation. The Australian government requires the applicant to prove their identity and relationship to a New Zealand citizen.
The checklist is extensive and makes up the documents that form your paper-based lodgement. To reiterate, that means you cannot lodge your application online like most other visa types. These factors cause plenty of stress for people looking to sponsor a family member or obtain this visa. Let us help you reduce the stress and streamline the process. Get in touch with us and speak to one of our team about ways we can best support you on your journey.
The following documents must be provided to support an application:
- 護照
- 完整的出生證明
- Passport sized photos
- 國民身分證（如適用）
- 駕駛執照（如適用）
- 離婚證（如適用）
- 澳大利亞無犯罪記錄證明
- New Zealand police clearance certificate
- Overseas police clearance certificate (if applicable)
- 健康體檢
- 出生證
- Marriage Certificate
- Adoption Certificate or Parental court orders
- Photos
If the sponsorship is for a partner:
- 關係的財務方面的證據
- 家庭性質的證據
- 關係的社會方面的證據
- 承諾性質的證據
How the Subclass 461 visa works
The visa requires the applicant to submit a 461 visa application along with additional supporting documentation by post. As mentioned above, due to the substantial amount of additional documents required from the visa applicant, we advise that you seek assistance from a legal professional as insufficient evidence may cause significant delays in progressing an application.

未來的簽證途徑
The subclass 461 visa does not create a pathway to permanent residency. However, if your sponsoring family member attains Australian permanent residency or citizenship, they may be eligible to sponsor you on a permanent visa such as a partner visa. Alternatively, you could apply for another permanent visa, such as skilled visas or employer-sponsored visas, to obtain permanent residency.

專業費用
Our fees will vary depending on the circumstances of your application. Some applications will be more complex than others and our fees will be quoted accordingly. We work on a fixed-fee basis rather than billing hourly to provide our clients with certainty about what the total costs associated with their 461 visa application will be. We offer payment plans based on different financial needs to provide flexibility for our clients.
部門費用
At time of posting, the current fee for the Department of Home Affairs in relation to 461 visa applications is $420 for the main applicant. This fee must be paid upfront and the Department does not accept split payments. Payment can be made using debit/credit card, PayPal, UnionPay and BPAY.

條件
As legal professionals, we are unable to provide assurances that your Partner visa will be approved, as no such guarantee exists. The ultimate decision lies with the Department of Home Affairs and is not within the purview of any single representative, lawyer, or migration agent. Nevertheless, our thorough comprehension of the law allows us to greatly enhance your likelihood of a successful outcome.
Once approved, the following visa conditions may be attached:
- You are prohibited from becoming involved in activities disruptive to, or violence threatening harm to, the Australian community or a group within the Australian community
- You are required to have and maintain private health insurance throughout your entire duration of stay in Australia.
Failure to comply with visa conditions may result in visa cancellation.
