The sites are difficult to navigate.

Partnership visa is the only one you can apply for. You initially need to apply for temporary partnership visa.

Click on and open the link above.The forms you will need are numbers, 1198,1199 and your NZ partner will need number 1146.

All information there.

I was using the form 1198 and for my partner was form 1146. We supply all the evidence recquirements that stated on the site. But when the decline paper come out. It was different from what the site said. They were asking for financial arrangements in case the relationship breakdowns..

You and your partner will need to show all financials to prove that you can support yourselves without being a burden on the govt.

Dear Vheibe!
My reply may disturb you but it may be factual and real.

To the best of what I have understood as the reason for your rejection, it seems that your partner is already old and not able to do any job/work anymore. There would be a time nearby (If he doesn't own a property in NZ) when he would shift at one of the old homes. Immigration NZ considers all these stats and realities while granting a visa.

What you could do is to provide enough evidence of finances that God forbids even if any mishap happens, you can survive on your own. Your approach of visa application is correct however.
