The government will allow a 'Parent Boost' visa from September.
It will grant parents of citizens multi-entry access for five years, with the opportunity for renewal once - meaning they could hold the visa for 10 years.
Applicants will also need to meet specific health, income, and insurance requirements.
NZ Immigration Principal Consultant Katy Armstrong says New Zealand's not always just a skip across the ditch. For some people its a 24-hour journey or more, so the visa's a significant move.
