New Zealand immigration requirements and immigration assistance

The Profile Sheet filled in and returned will enable us to keep a complete record of your family and the communications that go on between us. We will then keep a current position of your process to achieve permanent residency in New Zealand. Email us first and we will send you a link to the Profile Sheet.

We undertake that the information you agree to send us will be held in the strictest confidence.

We can recommend professional immigration consultants for those immigrants requiring assistance with immigration advice and procedures for intending new arrivals.

If you use a professional service, please let us know immediately, so that we can monitor the processing of the assessment and ensure you get a quick reply. Let us have a copy of your answers to the assessment document, so that we can download the information onto our own database.

We will, on receiving your profile, build up an ongoing file of your application, which will enable us to keep your application under constant review.

Because of New Zealand’s strict privacy laws we will need your specific written consent to agree to us opening a computer file with your provided details.

Allow about six weeks to gather the requisite documents. From the date of lodgement, the Immigration Service will take approximately six months to approve your application.

Assistance
