fiancé/fiancée visa

Explanation:
美国公民在国外的未婚妻或未婚夫可以申请专为这类人员设置的K-1签证。这属于非移民签证。我想新西兰也有类似签证。最好再问一下Luzou等在新西兰的同事。

Special visitor visa for partners of NZ citizens and residences

Explanation:
This could also be the next category on Page 9 of the attached NZ Immigration brochure:

<italics>Special visitor visa for entry to NZ for the purpose of a culturally arranged marriage</italics>

Depending on the context of your document, Denyce, I believe you will have to decide between these two categories of the VISITOR visa for entry to New Zealand.

Over there, partners may be married or unmarried, and even of the same sex, for this purpose.

This must be differentiated from the fiance/fiancee visa mentioned above, which is a TEMPORARY RESIDENT visa, not a visitor's visa like the two categories I specify here.

Your attention to minute details is to be commended, Denyce. This makes you a responsible, trust-worthy translator.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for your kind words, Oze. That is sweet.

6 hrs confidence:

unmarried (partner?) visa

Explanation:
There appears to be an "unmarried partner visa" (我故意用小寫) but maybe it's from the British High Commission. Can't find anything to indicate that it is something offered by NZ.

No offense to Yueyin intended, but her reference is to a U.S. site, and has nothing to do with this, except to prove that there is such a thing as a "fiancé visa" somewhere in the English speaking world.

Why not drop a line to your friendly local NZ consulate? That's where this question belongs.
