Immigration Law is complicated and can be confusing to the public. We know well how overwhelming the immigration application process can be.

Our goal is to help you with your applications to Immigration New Zealand and achieve a successful outcome for you.

In Mideast Modern, we advise you on important matters pertaining to your application, let you know what is going on at every stage, and explain every small detail so that you are always up-to-date on your application.

New Zealand Visa

Let Mideast Modern be the solution for your visa needs. We are involved in innovative, sophisticated, and complex visa cases in Auckland. By combining a fundamental understanding of the big picture with the complexity of daily interactions and experiences with Immigration New Zealand, we provide proactive solutions to a diversity of clients.

Visitor

A New Zealand visitor visa allows you to visit the country as a tourist or to visit friends and family.

Depending on what passport you hold, you may need to apply for a visitor visa before you travel to New Zealand. There are a number of requirements to satisfy in order to be granted a visitor visa, and I am able to support you through your visitor visa application to ensure a successful outcome.

Family

If you enter in a relationship or marry a New Zealand citizen or resident, or if you are the dependent child of a New Zealand citizen or resident, you can apply for a visa to join them in New Zealand.

If your partner or parent holds work or student visa, you may also be able to join them if you meet the requirements. I have assisted many families and couples reunite and start life together in New Zealand.

If you want to visit family in New Zealand multiple times on the same visa, the Parent and Grandparent Visitor Visa may be the right option for you. You must be visiting your New Zealand citizen or resident children or grandchildren.

Refugee

People who fear returning to their own country can apply in New Zealand to be recognised as refugees or protected persons. I have considerable experience in refugee matters, and can assist you with your refugee claim.

While your refugee claim is being considered, you can apply and be granted a work visa. After you are approved (granted refugee status), you can apply for permanent residence. I have successfully assisted many clients with obtaining their work and residence visas on these grounds.

Variation of Conditions

Temporary visas (such as work, student or visitor visas) are granted with conditions, for example, you can only work for a specific employer or study only at a certain institute.

If your circumstances change (you want to work for a different employer, study while you work, study in a different institute or course), I can assist you with an application to vary the conditions of your visa. While this type of application may seem straightforward, there are many rules surrounding the requirements. I am happy to assist you with your application.

Appeals and Deportation

  • Reconsideration

    If Immigration New Zealand declines your application for a temporary visa (visit, study, work visa) while you are in New Zealand, you have the right to ask for reconsideration (review) of the decision. I have successfully represented numerous clients who came to me after their visa applications were declined.

  • Appeals
  • If your residence or refugee status application is declined, you may be able to appeal against the decline decision to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal (which is administered by the Ministry of Justice). In some cases, you may also be able to appeal to the Minister of Immigration. I have appealed successfully a number of cases to the Tribunal and the Minister of Immigration, and can assist you with your situation too.

  • Deportation
  • If you remain in New Zealand after your temporary visa expires and you have not made any arrangements to extend it or apply for another type of visa, you become unlawful and liable for deportation.

    Depending on your circumstances and the time the liability arises, you may be able to appeal against deportation within a limited time frame from becoming unlawful. These appeals are heard by the Immigration & Protection Tribunal. I have appealed successfully a number of cases to the Tribunal, and can assist you with your situation too.

Student

If you’re planning to study here full time and the course is for longer than three months, you'll need a student visa.

I can assist you with obtaining a New Zealand student visa. Depending on the type and length of your study, you may be able to work part-time during the academic year, and full-time during the holidays. If you'd like to work here after gaining your qualification to get some experience, there are a number of options, including post-study work visas.

Accreditation

If you are an employer looking to hire migrants, you need to become accredited.

As of 2021, all employers in New Zealand need to become accredited to be able to hire migrant workers. I have assisted several employers with obtaining accreditation, and I am available to assist you with yours.

Work

If you want to work in New Zealand, you’ll need a work resident visa.

To get a work visa, you’re likely to need a job offer from an employer. I can assist you with obtaining a work visa and advise you on best work visa category is suitable to your experience and/or qualifications. A work visa can also be a pathway to residency in New Zealand.

Note, however, that you cannot work for the prospective employer until your visa application is approved.

Investor

    There are four investment visa categories:
  1. Investor: minimum investment NZ$3 million for at least four years.
  2. Investor Plus: minimum investment NZ$10 million for at least three years.
  3. Entrepreneur: minimum capital investment of NZ$100,000 (excluding working capital).
  4. Global Impact Visa: designed to attract talented and visionary entrepreneurs, investors and start-up teams with the drive and capabilities to create lasting positive impact for New Zealand and around the world. Before you can apply for a Global Impact Visa you must be accepted into the Edmund Hillary Fellowship.

Retirement

If you’re looking for a peaceful country where people look out for each other and which offers services like subsidised healthcare, look no further than New Zealand.

You can either come on a two-year temporary retirement visitor visa, or move permanently if you have adult children (and to be with your grandchildren) in New Zealand.

    The two retirement visa categories are:

  1. Temporary Retirement Visitor Visa
  2. The Parent Resident Visa

Residence

With a resident visa, you are able to live in New Zealand permanently, and can work and study in New Zealand. You will also have a pathway to New Zealand Citizenship.

There are many types of residence visas, see below a few types of resident visas we can assist you with obtaining:

  1. Entrepreneur, Investor and Investor Plus
  2. Through employment: Skilled Migrant Category, Long-Term Skill Shortage and Work to Residence
  3. Partner and Dependent Child of a New Zealander, Parent Resident Visa, and Parent Retirement
  4. Refugee Family Support Category, Victims of Family Violence, and Refugee Permanent Resident

In addition to the above, I represent clients in a range of other residence visa applications, including, but not limited to:

  • Employees of Relocating Business Resident Visa
  • Intercountry Adoption Resident Visa

Citizenship

Normally, you can apply for New Zealand citizenship once you have been a resident visa holder for at least five years. You must check you meet the requirements to become a New Zealand citizen before you apply, and must satisfy certain requirements such as good character, English language and commitment to New Zealand. If you don’t meet a certain requirement, you will need expert advice and advocacy on your behalf, and I will be happy to assist you with your case.
