First complete an application form here. When you are ready, one of our consultants will contact you and check to see if you will pass the points test.
If you do we will submit your first stage application.

This will be sent to immigration to assess in a pool of other applications. You will then be notified within 3 months whether you are selected. If selected, a preliminary check will be made with the people and organisations listed in your first stage application. If this information proves to be credible you will be sent a Final stage application.

This must be returned to us along with passport photos, documentation requested and applicable fees

Yes. A surprisingly large number of applicants are unaware how strictly the immigration regulations are enforced and are often unnecessarily refused or delayed due to technical errors on their application or by submitting the wrong supporting documentation. So the moral of the story is to seek the professional guidance and independent advice of a consultant before lodging an application for residence. Consultants exist to help you find the best way through the immigration maze and are highly effective in doing so.

• Passport
• Birth Certificate
• Evidence of English language ability.
• Evidence of a recognised qualification.
• Evidence of skilled work experience.
• Evidence of a skilled job offer (if applicable).
• Evidence of current skilled employment.

Also the following if applicable:

• Marriage Certificate
• Custody documentation (for any children where applicable).
• Police Certificates (for all applicants under 17 years of age).
• Medical/X-ray certificates (for applicants less than 3 months old).

Normally, your arrival must be within 1 year from the date of your medical tests or police certificates, which occur during the processing of your second stage application. So, if you deduct part of the official processing time, you will generally be left with 6 to 12 months to land in New Zealand. The exception is for temporary visas, such as work visas, in which case you may only have a number of months to enter the country.

It is one that requires significant specialist/technical or management expertise obtained through:

1. The completion of recognised qualifications; or
2. Work experience that has enabled a person to gain a comparable level of skill to that which would have been gained through the completion of a relevant recognised qualification; or
3. Work experience in which that expertise was a key component.

The following are the major groups of skilled occupations:
- Major Group 1 (Legislators, administrators and managers)
