No. We have domestic violence policies specifically to address that issue. So if someone is living with a New Zealander and is intending to apply for permanent residence, and the relationship breaks down because of what we call domestic violence and what I think you call spousal violence, then there's a work visa available for that person to continue to live in New Zealand, to work, to potentially support any children they may have. Then they can apply for permanent residence also.
So if the domestic violence allegation is proven to a sufficient level, then the foreign spouse can apply for and be granted permanent residence.
