Our Services
Consultation and Eligibility Assessment
Our initial consultation is free. During this process we chat with you about your current situation and what you’re wanting to do in New Zealand. From here we can determine the best visa options that are suitable for your individual needs.
Document Preparation and Review
Visa applications hinge on the quality of documentation provided to Immigration New Zealand. If an application is missing evidence then it is possible that it will be declined. We work closely with you to ensure that the documentation requirements are met, giving the application the best chance of success.
Expert Guidance and Support
Depending on the application you may need to provide specific pieces of evidence. Obtaining these can be difficult, we can guide the applicants through these complicated processes. As licensed immigration advisers, this is another aspect of the application process that can give the application the best chance of approval.
Application Submission and Tracking
When we submit an application on behalf of a client, we ensure that it is lodged correctly. When applicants lodge their own applications, often they are not done correctly, which can have an impact on the outcome. Visa applications all have different processing times, depending on the category and how busy Immigration New Zealand are. Typically residence class visa applications take longer to process than temporary visa applications.
Post-Approval Assistance
After the grant of a visa, there are often specific conditions that the visa holder has to abide by. We are able to explain these in easy to understand terms so that you don’t accidentally breach any conditions and put your visa at risk.
Visa Interview Preparation (if applicable)
In some instances (mainly family based residence visas) Immigration New Zealand may find it appropriate to interview the applicant and / or other parties relevant to the application. We are able to help applicants prepare for this scenario, so that the interview goes well.
