Option A: You can’t change sponsors
Sponsorship is a contract that your sponsor can’t withdraw from. If your sponsor does try to withdraw we may cancel your visa.
If your sponsor withdraws before you arrive in New Zealand we may refuse your entry.
Option B: Apply for a new visa
Your sponsor is responsible for you until you leave the country or get a new visa and a new sponsor.
