Immigration NZ website
The Immigration New Zealand website has all the information you need to know about the requirements and procedures for applying for entry to New Zealand. Here you can access application guides and forms and in some cases lodge your online application.
New Zealand Now
New Zealand Now is also a government website but you may find immigration information easier to find your way around here. New Zealand Now also presents a lot of other information and advice about jobs, relocation and living in New Zealand.
The Work in NZ page on the New Zealand Now website is the recommended place to start your research on the appropriate visas for your needs.
Immigration advisers
It is not necessary to engage the services of an immigration adviser for the visa application process. If you do choose to engage the services of an immigration adviser, select one from the register of licensed immigration advisers on the Immigation Advisers Authority website. For the protection of migrants, all those giving immigration advice are now required by law to be licenced with the Immigration Advisers Authority.
Read some of the Migrant stories to see how others have tackled their immigration process. For some it is straight forward and relatively easy to successfully complete the process themselves. Others prefer the help of an immigration adviser.
