Why should I apply through Zenith Immigration Solutions?
You should seek help from a Licensed Immigration Adviser - which is exactly what we are.
A Licensed Immigration Adviser is officially licensed by Immigration Advisers Authority who is responsible for protecting people who receive immigration advice. You will be protected against any malpractice and poor service.
You may receive advice from friends or family to try and take on the visa application process alone. We would not recommend this because your circumstances will likely vary meaning their own experiences will not reflect what you need. Further, immigration laws are always changing which is something we are always in the know with. Relying on our professionalism and expertise is absolutely for your benefit.
Receiving a PPI can be hard. While we can help, we can't change the past but with everything considered, we will be honest and direct with what path might be possible for you.
We will be absolutely honest with you that the application process will take time and money, and that is a scarcity that we respect. We will help you plan ahead and tell you exactly how much time and money you will need in the visa category that is best suited to you.Can I apply for visa from outside New Zealand?
Yes.
However, if you want to apply for a work visa or a residence visa, your possibilities are very limited without an Offer of Employment. We can assess your case if you have an offer of employment.
Please note: We do not deal in arranging offer of employment.What are your fees? Is it expensive to appoint us as your Immigration Adviser?

You're in safe hands from this point onward.What type of visa do I need?

There are visas for work, study, partnership etc. etc. To find out what best suits your unique circumstances, it's best to contact us for a free consultation.

What is life like in NZ?
In general New Zealand is considered a safe country. There is public healthcare, public education, a parliamentary government system and mostly moderate weather.
The cost of living for a single person living in a major city is roughly about NZD $4,500 a month, whereas a family of four is roughly about NZD $6,500 a month. This includes healthcare, education, transport, groceries and the like.My circumstances are different and I'm unsure how that will impact my visa application. What do I do?
This is what makes an Immigration Advisor so invaluable - we know how to assess your situation and how to best remedy within your best interest. We get that everyone has unique circumstances and why it's so important to hear that directly from you, rather than just hoping that the system will somehow understand what you mean through paperwork alone. We provide the professional and empathetic part of the process so you know for sure you are heard, understood and have the best possible chance of achieving your immigration goals.
