I'm studying in New Zealand and want to have my partner and children with me
Your family will need to apply for visas of their own in order to be in New Zealand with you.
If you want your partner (spouse or de facto) to join you in New Zealand, they may apply for a Partner of a Student work visa or a Partner of a Student visitor visa, provided that they meet certain policy requirements.

Your dependent children may apply for a visitor visa, or a student visa if they are attending school. In some cases your child may be considered an international student, so international school fees may apply.
