新西兰移民局 11 月 12 日起收紧居留规则，申请人有子女非法滞留须先解决身份才可获批
新西兰移民局（INZ）通过第 2026-34 号修订通告修改居留审理指引，新规自 2026 年 11 月 12 日起施行。新规要求：若居留签证申请中的任何申请人有一名亲生或收养的受抚养子女非法滞留在新西兰，该申请必须被拒绝，须先解决该子女的移民身份，父母及其他附属申请人才可获批居留。
若被列入申请的子女本身也在申请之内，申请会先暂缓，待该子女取得签证或离境后再继续审理。通告另有一项例外：子女未满 16 岁、且申请人因监护或探视安排无合法权利把子女带离新西兰的，申请仍可获批。
新规适用于 11 月 12 日或之后递交的申请；此前递交的申请仍按递交时的规则审理。申请被拒的家庭仍可向移民与保护法庭提出申诉，主张存在可作不同处理的特殊情况。

Immigration New Zealand Tightens Residence Rules From November 12, Requiring Unlawful Dependent Children's Status to Be Resolved Before Approval
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) amended its residence instructions through Amendment Circular 2026-34, effective November 12, 2026. Under the new instruction, a resident visa application must be declined when any applicant has a biological or adopted dependent child unlawfully in New Zealand; the child's immigration status must be resolved before residence can be granted to the parent and other secondary applicants.
Where the child is included in the application itself, the application is placed on hold until the child is granted a visa or departs New Zealand. The circular also provides an exception: where the child is under 16 and the applicant has no legal right to remove the child from New Zealand because of custody or access arrangements, the application may still be approved.
The revised rules apply to applications lodged on or after November 12, 2026. Applications lodged before that date are assessed under the rules that applied at lodgement. Families whose applications are declined can still appeal to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal if they believe special circumstances justify a different outcome.
