Do you need a visa for New Zealand?
Get expert assistance from our Licenced Immigration Advisers!
The visa application process for New Zealand is complex and highly bureaucratic. A lot depends on a successful outcome for you and your family.
Choosing the right visa type and submitting a flawless visa application is vital for your immigration process.
Liaising with Immigration New Zealand and other authorities involved is a daunting experience, even if English is your first language.
We can liaise with your New Zealand employer, helping them with their side of the visa formalities and complying with their legal responsibilities as employers.
Working with a Licensed Immigration Adviser will help you overcome the Catch 22 hurdle.

Together with you we will develop a well defined strategy that works with your goal of becoming a resident in New Zealand, whether you are planning to live in New Zealand longterm or for a limited time only.
Our Licensed Immigration Advisers will determine the visa policy that meets your personal and professional background, and align it with your personal timing for your arrival in New Zealand.
If you are migrating with your partner or family the requirements for them to be included in your visa application will be covered in your immigration strategy.
If, like most migrants, you are going to apply under the Skilled Migrant Category, our Fusion Service will fit your needs perfectly: your job search strategy will be an integral part of your immigration strategy. Our advisers will collaborate with the job search team at this stage if you are using our Fusion Service.
If you are applying under one of the Partner or Family Categories, policy specific requirements will have to be met and we will instruct you accordingly.
If you choose to be an Investor or apply under one of the Business policies, our instructions will be tailored to satisfy the respective policy.
Your immigration strategy will form the foundation for your entire immigration process.
It will be your guideline for the coming months and we will refer back to it throughout the process, to ensure that you will stay on track with making the desired progress towards your goal of obtaining your visa and becoming a resident in New Zealand.
Based on your immigration strategy your Licensed Immigration Adviser will provide you with a detailed list of documents, tailored specifically to meet the requirements of your chosen visa policy, as well as comprehensive document guidelines.
We recommend that you commence working with us on collating the necessary documentation for your visa application well ahead of your arrival in New Zealand. This will allow us to submit your visa application to Immigration New Zealand as soon you fulfil all visa eligibility requirements. Meticulous preparation will ensure that all necessary paperwork is complete and in the required format and no valuable time is lost through avoidable queries from the authorities involved with your visa application process.
If your overseas qualifications require an external assessment by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority, NZQA, it is important to note, that this can be a lengthy process which will take several months to complete. Your Licensed Immigration Adviser will let you know if an NZQA assessment will be required in your case, so that we can factor in the time this will take.
If, like most migrants, you are applying for your visa under the Skilled Migrant Category, you will need a job offer to meet visa requirements.
At this stage of your immigration process you get caught in the Catch 22 dilemma: No visa without job and no job without visa.
Unless you succeed in obtaining a job offer, your visa application process will come to a standstill before it can even start.
Most immigration agencies will say: "Come back to us to start your visa application once you have a job offer in New Zealand."
At NZIC your Licensed Immigration Adviser will team up with your Job Search Professionals, and together they will provide a unique Fusion Service that will empower you to break through the Catch 22 barrier and allow us to submit and process your visa application. Your Visa and the Catch 22
Whether you are applying for a Skilled Migrant Visa, a Business/Investor Visa or for a visa under the Family/Partnership policy, your Licensed Immigration Adviser will ensure that all eligibility requirements of your chosen visa policy are fulfilled, and your visa application is formally complete and absolutely faultless before it is lodged with Immigration New Zealand.
Once your visa application has been formally accepted by Immigration New Zealand, the verification process commences.
If your application does not add up in any way, be it because one of the eligibility requirements has not been met, or because any of the required documents are missing or lacking the required format, INZ will get back to you for further clarification.
No matter which visa policy will be right for you, our Licensed Immigration Advisers will support and guide you through this step of the process.
We will liaise with Immigration New Zealand and other authorities involved with your visa process on your behalf and follow through to completion.
Using our visa assistance will help you speed up your Visa Processing Times.
