Do you want to move to New Zealand? Then you need a licensed immigration advisor!

One of the reasons for this ruling is that the New Zealand Government believes that anyone who is thinking about migrating to this country has the right to receive clear, honest and complete information to help them make this important and life-changing decision.

For peace of mind, use a licensed immigration advisor

So, in order to protect people and ensure they receive the proper New Zealand immigration advice, the New Zealand Government set up the Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA) as a way to regulate who may provide advice about immigrating to New Zealand.

By law, any person anywhere in the world who gives you immigration advice about New Zealand must be licensed by the IAA, unless they’re one of a small number of people who are exempt from this licensing requirement. The law is very strict on this and there are significant penalties for people who provide New Zealand immigration advice without a licence.

Moving to a new country is a big decision and can incur significant financial cost and emotional stress. Therefore it is essential that anyone who is contemplating migrating to New Zealand makes very sure that they get good advice by only dealing directly with Immigration New Zealand or an Immigration Advisor licensed by the IAA, or someone, such as a lawyer, who is legally exempt from this licensing requirement.

Encouraging people to invest capital or their business expertise in New Zealand is one of the ways in which New Zealand immigration legislation aims to stimulate the country’s economic growth. Securing a New Zealand business visa can lead to obtaining permanent residence. So, if you have money to invest in New Zealand and the entrepreneurial skills to put your ideas into practice then a business visa might be the ideal way to secure your right to work and live in New Zealand.
