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.
