Living separately and RRV, please HELP
Dear All,
I and (ex-wife) have been living separately for almost 1 year. I am the principal applicant (PR granted 2 years ago). My ex had visited NZ once (initial landing) that time with me.
I don't mind if my ex get the indefinite RRV, but could she?
Anyway she could convince the immigration that she had been living seperately from me (without divorce paper)?
A divorce is very "difficult" in my culture, and will take a long official process (have to go to the church where we married, ask the priest to give concern on our divorce, then have to go to civil registrar to get the legalization. Getting the concern from the church itselft need alots hassle).
Cheers,
chrs4

I don't know the NZ system very well, but if she meets the
requirements for an indefinite RRV, I see no reason why not.

Where are you living? You don't need the church's permission to get a
divorce in New Zealand, for goodness sake.
If you want a NZ divorce, get in touch with a NZ solicitor dealing in
family law. Divorce in New Zealand is a civil matter - what your
church thinks of it is no concern of the government.
