Under New Zealand law, only Licensed Immigration Advisers or exempt professionals are permitted to provide immigration advice.

This protects both employers and migrant workers by ensuring the advice given is accurate, lawful, and aligned with current policy.

​

New Zealand’s immigration system has undergone major changes in recent years, and employers are now expected to meet higher compliance standards than ever before. Many businesses are hiring internationally again, but the pace of change has created uncertainty and a constant need to stay informed.

​

Our role is to act as your immigration partner, helping your business stay compliant, minimise workflow disruption, and support your migrant workforce effectively.

​

How We Support Employers

Becoming a partner with us gives your business access to structured, ongoing immigration support, including:

​

• Accreditation Support: We guide you through becoming an Immigration New Zealand–accredited employer and handle the required documentation and compliance steps.

• Labour Market Assessment: When hiring from overseas, we help you meet labour market test requirements and demonstrate when no suitable New Zealanders are available.

• Worker Visa Management: We ensure your employees are placed on the most appropriate visa for their circumstances and help maintain their lawful status throughout their employment.

• Clear, Practical Immigration Guidance: We simplify complex policy so you clearly understand what is changing and how it affects your business.

• Proactive Policy Updates: We alert you to upcoming changes, risks, or hurdles and advise how to prepare your workforce strategy accordingly.

• HR Support: We reduce the pressure on your HR team by taking care of immigration processes, timelines, and documentation.

• End-to-End Immigration Services: Because we work across all major visa categories—including international education, work visas, residence pathways, and family visas—we can support your employees and their families directly, even when employer involvement is not required.

Immigration advice in New Zealand is legally regulated. Employers and HR teams cannot advise their migrant staff on visa options unless they are licensed or otherwise exempt under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007. Providing unlicensed advice can expose a business to legal and compliance risks.

​

All corporate immigration guidance we provide is quality-checked and issued only by our experienced Licensed Immigration Advisers. This ensures your business remains compliant with immigration law and avoids the risk of inadvertently giving unlawful or incorrect guidance to your employees.

​

By directing your staff to our authorised team for immigration questions, you protect your business and free your HR team from handling matters they cannot legally advise on—and often do not have the specialist knowledge to resolve.
