New Zealand program directory

New Zealand immigration advice must generally be provided by a licensed immigration adviser or an exempt person. Friendship Immigration does not provide personalized New Zealand immigration advice, eligibility recommendations, form-answer guidance or representation unless it is delivered through an appropriately licensed or exempt adviser. Education-related assistance is provided in line with all applicable New Zealand rules.

Licensed Immigration Adviser or Exempt Adviser Required for personalized assessment

Some destinations below are associated states or territories rather than independent sovereign countries. Depending on the destination, the competent immigration authority may be connected to Australia, New Zealand, France or the United States, and entry rules are set by that authority.

Employer and education-provider safety

Friendship Immigration may decline a matter where an employer, institution, document, qualification, source of funds or proposed activity cannot be satisfactorily verified.

• •Nobody can sell you an Australian or New Zealand visa, residence, nomination or invitation. Payment to any agent does not create an entitlement.
• •Be cautious of anyone offering a guaranteed job, guaranteed sponsorship, guaranteed points score or guaranteed residence.
• •Paid nomination arrangements and payment-for-sponsorship are prohibited conduct in Australia and can affect your visa and the employer.
• •Verify any Australian adviser on the OMARA register and any New Zealand adviser on the IAA register before paying anything.
• •Never hand over original documents, passwords or immigration account credentials to an unverified operator.
• •Do not sign an agreement that has no written scope, no fee breakdown and no refund terms.
• •Some Pacific destinations are territories or associated states; a visa for Australia or New Zealand does not cover them.
• •Never provide false information or altered documents. It can result in refusal, cancellation and a long-term bar.
