To be successful under the Dependent Child Category applicants are required (among other things) to show that at least one of their parents is living lawfully and permanently in New Zealand.
This means not only that they have the lawful right to do so (that is, they are either a New Zealand Citizen or permanent resident) but that they are ‘actually residing’ in New Zealand.
For more information see sections F5.1 and F5.5 in our operational manual.

如果递交此类移民申请，申请人需要向移民局证明孩子的父母至少有一方可以合法并且永久地居住在新西兰。
也就是说，父母任意一方不仅有权利居住在新西兰（是新西兰公民或者新西兰永久居民）而且他们需要实际居住在新西兰境内。

Recently the China branches have received applications from children whose parents have been absent from New Zealand for extended periods. In many cases they have indicated an intention to return to New Zealand in the future.
In these circumstances applications under the Dependant Child category cannot be approved. At the time the application is made at least one parent must be ‘actually residing’ in New Zealand. Please note that we are not able to make exceptions to this requirement and that once an application has been made the application fee will not be refunded.
If your circumstances are that you intend to return to New Zealand as a family we recommend that instead of a residence application parents make a temporary visa application for their child. This will allow you to travel to New Zealand as a family and re-establish residence there. Once this has been done, a residence application under the Dependant Child category can be made.

近来，新西兰移民局北京办公室收到此类项下的一些移民申请。未成年子女的父母长期不在新西兰境内，并且大部分申请人都表示将来重新返回新西兰的意愿。
但是，在这种情况下，未成年子女的移民申请将不被批准。在申请人提出申请时，未成年子女的父母至少有一方是“实际居住在新西兰境内”。请注意，对此规定，移民局不能做出例外决定。同时一旦递交申请，申请费将不予退还。 |
