New Zealand Permanent Resident, US Citizen Where to Start with Partnership Visa?
Hello!
I'm a Permanent Resident of New Zealand but a US Citizen. I am in a de facto relationship with my partner who is a NZ citizen (though born in Australia, he only has a NZ passport).
We want to make the move to Australia, but I'm not sure how to start with a partnership visa. As a NZ citizen he can go over no problem, but I'll have to apply for a visa for an eligible NZ citizen.
Is it possible to apply for one while on shore? Or while here in NZ. I am over 30 so too late for a WHV. We are both in NZ.
Has anyone been in the same boat?
Thanks!

His parents were (are) NZ citizens. He was born in 1970. He lived in Australia for approximately 3 years from birth.What are the details of birth in Australia? (Nationalities of parents and year of birth)
Citizenship by birth-before 1 September 1994
People born in Australia on or after 26 January 1949 and before 20 August 1986 became an Australian citizen by birth, with the exception of children born to a parent who was living in Australia temporarily as a diplomat or as the holder of a special purpose visa, for example guests of government, air crew or armed forces and their families.
He maybe a citizen of Australia too?

Would you qualify for a skilled visa? (Cheaper than a Partner Visa).

No, not in a field for skilled migrant.
He is looking into getting his Australian passport, but I am not sure that makes a difference for my visa since he is still an eligible NZ citizen.
I'm prepared for the costs of the partnership visa, but I guess my question is what visa is best to apply for to be able to stay onshore while the temporary or provisional visa is being processed. Or if there is a temporary visa I can apply for while in NZ to be able to stay temporarily while the partnership visa is being processed.
I hope that makes sense...
Thanks again in advance.

Put simply (so as a basic and more to it).
Your Partner gets his Australian passport. You get an ETA.
Both travel to Australia and within 3 months apply for a Partner Visa (820) onshore, after 3 months you are on a Bridging Visa A with full work rights.
You will be eligible for Medicare from application of the 820 acknowledgement.
