General information only
The information on this website is provided for general information purposes only. It describes how New Zealand and international visa and immigration categories generally work. It is not personalised immigration advice, and it does not take account of your individual circumstances. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of this information alone.
How to get advice for your situation
Personalised immigration advice is provided only by a licensed immigration adviser after reviewing your individual circumstances. To get advice for your own situation, start in the AVA planning workspace to organise your information, then request a licensed adviser review. The AVA workspace is a planning tool — it does not give immigration advice or decide whether you qualify.
Accuracy and currency
Immigration rules, wage thresholds, fees and processing times change over time. While we take care to keep our general information useful and current, we do not warrant that it is complete, accurate or up to date. Current, authoritative detail is published by Immigration New Zealand at immigration.govt.nz and in the Immigration New Zealand Operational Manual and relevant legislation.
No outcome guarantee
No immigration outcome can be guaranteed. Nothing on this website should be read as a promise, prediction or assurance of visa approval, eligibility or success. Decisions on visa and immigration applications are made by Immigration New Zealand under current policy and law.
External links
This website may link to third-party websites for convenience and reference. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy or availability of those sites, and a link does not imply endorsement.
