Visitor visas look simple until something goes wrong — a refusal in your history, a visa about to expire, or a stay that has already run over. That is usually when people get in touch.
If you have a clean history and a clear reason to visit, this is one of the simpler applications. If you do not, it becomes one of the most delicate.
From a two-week holiday to a long-stay visit with family.
The standard visa for tourism, visiting family, or short business trips, granted for a set period with conditions on what you may do.
An electronic travel authority required by travellers from visa waiver countries and by cruise passengers, obtained before travel.
Required by some nationalities passing through New Zealand en route to another country.
A multiple-entry visa allowing extended stays with your family in New Zealand without applying for residence.
Extending a current visitor visa, or varying its conditions to permit study or limited work in specific circumstances.
A discretionary request for a visa where a person is already unlawfully in New Zealand. There is no right of appeal — the request must be right first time.
If your visa has already expired, act immediately. Every additional day unlawfully in New Zealand narrows your options and increases the risk of a re-entry ban. Get in touch today rather than next week.
The officer is being asked to be satisfied of one thing above all: that you will leave.
Aimee is a licensed adviser who handles your file herself, from the first assessment to the decision letter.
For simple visits Aimee will tell you if you do not need her. She would rather have your trust than your fee.
Previous refusals, overstays or character issues, addressed with proper submissions rather than silence.
Filed before expiry, with the reasons and evidence an officer needs to grant them.
If you are unlawfully in New Zealand, Aimee acts quickly — delay is the enemy here.
Long-stay parent and grandparent options, and sponsorship done correctly.
If a visit is really the first step towards something longer, Aimee will say so and plan accordingly.
Every application is different, but the shape of the journey stays the same.
Aimee checks your nationality, history and purpose, and confirms whether a visa, an NZeTA or nothing at all is required.
Funds, travel plans, sponsorship and ties to home assembled into a straightforward, complete file.
Aimee files, tracks and responds to any questions from Immigration New Zealand.
Conditions explained, and extensions handled well before your visa expires.
It depends on your nationality. Travellers from visa waiver countries generally need an NZeTA rather than a visitor visa, while others must apply for a visa before travelling. Cruise passengers and some transit passengers have their own requirements. Tell Aimee which passport you hold and she will confirm it quickly.
Often yes, provided you apply before your current visa expires and you can show a genuine reason and sufficient funds. There is usually a maximum total stay, and applying after expiry is a very different and much weaker position.
Not by default. Visitor visas do not carry work rights, and study is limited to short courses. In specific circumstances a variation of conditions can permit study or limited work, but this must be applied for and granted — never assumed.
You are unlawfully in New Zealand and liable for deportation, and the longer it continues the harder it becomes to resolve. A section 61 request is a discretionary route back to lawful status, but there is no right of appeal if it is declined, so it needs to be prepared properly. Get in touch immediately rather than waiting.
Yes, but not with the same application. A previous refusal has to be disclosed and directly addressed, and the reasons for it must be understood before you re-apply. Repeating a declined application without change usually produces the same result and worsens your record.
Tell Aimee where you are today and she will tell you honestly what is possible. Your first eligibility assessment is free and comes with no obligation.
