We know that applying for temporary or residence visas is an expensive and time-consuming task that you want to get right first time. We also understand that our clients seek confidence in their chances of success, before committing to the process. At NZ Immigration your application will be in the hands of our team of experienced licensed immigration advisers. Our processes are geared to ensure that your application is assessed and managed in a professional and timely manner, so that you get the best chance of a successful outcome.
Temporary Entry Visa Applications
1.First meeting or telephone call
There is no charge for this first contact. During this process we can understand your requirements, background and current circumstances. We can give you a high level initial assessment to see if it’s worth you continuing the process. You can phone us or set up a meeting in our offices.
2. After the agreement is signed
As per our licensing requirements, we are obliged to have a written agreement with our clients before we can provide immigration advice. Once the agreement is signed we will direct you in all your documentation requirements and direct you as to the exact requirements you need to meet in order for your application to be successful.
3. Liaison with Immigration New Zealand
At all times we will act as your Liaison with Immigration New Zealand and represent your best interests. However, the onus is on the client to provide us with truthful information and to obtain the documentation required for the submission.
Fees
Our fees are dependent on the complexity of the application. Fees are always agreed upon in advance in the signed contract, so there are no surprises. We will always quote individually to make sure that the fees are fair and reasonable given the particular circumstances of the case.
