New Zealand Immigration Services for U.S. Professionals and Investors

At New Zealand Immigration Concepts, we specialise in advising highly skilled professionals and investors based in the United States who are seeking a clear, secure pathway to living and investing in New Zealand.

If you are a U.S. citizen or resident considering relocation, residence, or investment in New Zealand, you need precise, compliant, and strategic immigration advice.

Our approach is structured, selective, and tailored to complex cross-border cases.


Who we advise  

We work exclusively with clients whose profiles align with New Zealand’s skilled migration and investment frameworks.


Highly Skilled Professionals

  • Senior professionals in IT, engineering, healthcare, construction, finance, and related sectors
  • U.S. citizens and residents seeking long-term residence
  • Candidates with strong qualifications, experience, and earnings history

Typical objectives are:

  • Residence pathways for families
  • Career continuity in New Zealand
  • Long-term stability and quality of life


Investors and Entrepreneurs

  • Business owners, founders, and high-net-worth individuals
  • Capital available for compliant investment in New Zealand
  • Seeking residence through approved investment or business activity

Typical objectives are:

  • Secure residence pathways
  • Policy stability and long-term planning
  • Clear compliance and risk management


Each case is assessed individually to ensure the visa aligns with both Immigration New Zealand rules and U.S. relocation expectations.

  4. Step 4: Ongoing Immigration Support: We assist with visa outcomes, renewals, and future residence or citizenship pathways.


Why U.S. Clients Choose Us


Dr. Carsten Hallwass says:

"U.S. clients face unique considerations, including global taxation, financial disclosure requirements, and long-term mobility planning.

Our advisory model reflects this complexity.

Here at NZIC, we work closely with experts in international tax laws and cross-border investor advice."


What sets us apart:

  • Proven experience with U.S.-based clients
  • Strategic, eligibility-first assessments
  • Clear explanation of visa options, timelines, and risks
  • Coordination-ready approach with U.S. advisers when required
  • Transparent fees and professional standards

Carsten says:
"We do not offer generic immigration advice.

Each case is assessed on merit and long-term viability.

We work with a limited number of U.S. clients to ensure quality, compliance, and strategic focus."

“In contrast to another Immigration consultancy that we contacted, your company offered a free webinar and an assessment, approachable staff who communicate openly with potential customers. I understand that your company is a fee for services provider, but that has not been conveyed as a prerequisite during the decision making process.”

At first, Maj kindly explained the whole process and what to expect. I was coached and introduced to New Zealand job market by their Job Search team, and getting assistance until I got a job in the country. The Visa team would also follow me up on my pending documents, so I never felt left out. Truly recommended for those seeking out an option to live in New Zealand. Big thanks from me and my whole family for things NZIC did for us..!

NZIC helped me in my way to get a Visa and job search. They were always available to talk to and were open to all sorts of questions. No matter how random they were. Very friendly staff. And even when they had changes in employee and advisors, they always stayed professional and up to date. I can only say good things and recommend them highly.
