Who I work with
Whether you're trying to build a life here or trying to staff a business, the paperwork is the same maze but the route through it isn't.
How it works
What working with me actually looks like.
Step one
A proper conversation
A paid consultation where you leave knowing your realistic options, the likely cost and the likely timeframe whether or not you go ahead with me.
Step two
A written plan
Your pathway in writing: the documents needed, the order things happen in, what could go wrong, and what it costs.
Step three
I handle the application
I prepare and lodge it, deal with Immigration New Zealand, and keep you updated at every stage. No chasing me for news.
Fees
What it costs, before you ask.
Almost nobody in this industry publishes their fees. I'd rather you knew what you were walking into including the reasons the number sometimes moves.
Service | Fee (NZD excl. GST) |
|---|---|
Consultation - 1 hour, online or in Kaikoura | 150 |
Full visa evaluation, including a 30-minute consultation | 250 |
Visitor visa | 1000 |
Student visa | 1400 |
Work visa / Accredited Employer Work Visa | 1700 |
Green List - Straight to Residence | 2000 |
Partner of a New Zealander resident visa | 2500 |
Skilled Migrant Category resident visa | 2600 |
Employer accreditation | 900 |
Job Check | 650 |
These are my professional fees only Immigration New Zealand's application fees and levies, medicals, police certificates, translations and qualification assessments are separate and paid by you.
Why the same visa can cost different amounts?
The fees above are for a straightforward application of each type. Some situations need substantially more work, and where that's the case I quote you individually before starting.
-
A previous decline, or a history of being unlawfully in New Zealand or another country.
-
Health or character matters that require a waiver or supporting submissions.
-
Information already held by Immigration New Zealand that is incorrect, incomplete, or requires careful clarification and explanation.
-
The evidence available — particularly in partnership cases, where demonstrating that a relationship is genuine and stable is one of the most common grounds for decline. The quality and availability of evidence can also be critical in relation to work experience requirements for an AEWV application.
-
The need for detailed legal submissions or correspondence with third parties.
-
Changes to immigration instructions while your application is being processed.
