Why Choose Contact New Zealand for Your Student Visa?

Securing a student visa is about more than just filling out forms; it is about presenting a compelling case to Immigration New Zealand (INZ). Our licensed experts increase your chances of approval by:

Strategic Profile Assessment

We analyze your academic background and career goals to ensure your chosen course aligns with INZ’s "Bona Fide" applicant requirements.

Precision in Documentation

We assist in meticulously preparing financial evidence and Statement of Purpose (SOP) documents to minimize the risk of RFI (Request for Information) or visa declines.

Complex Case Handling

If you have previous visa rejections or gaps in your study/work history, our consultants use their deep knowledge of immigration law to address these challenges head-on.

Up-to-Date Policy Expertise

Immigration rules change frequently. We ensure your application adheres to the very latest requirements, including the recent 2024/2025 median wage and points system updates.

The Master’s Degree Pathway to Residence

A Master’s degree in New Zealand is now a powerful vehicle for long-term settlement. Under the Skilled Migrant Category (SMC), Immigration New Zealand is likely to introduce a simplified points-based pathway:

1. High Points for Level 9: Completing a Master’s degree MAY grant you 6 points towards the required 6-point threshold for residence.

2. The Median Wage Advantage: To qualify as "skilled" under this pathway, most applicants MAY need to secure a SKILLED job paid at the New Zealand Median Wage (currently $31.61/hour, rising to $33.56/hour in August 2025).

This pathway offers a clear, predictable route from being a student to becoming a New Zealand resident.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really good experience with Hemant and their staff throughout my visa application. My case had a few complicated issues, especially with the RFI, and I was quite stressed about the outcome. He guided me through everything clearly and prepared a very strong and detailed response for Immigration New Zealand. He was professional, supportive, and always explained things properly whenever I had questions. I really appreciate the time and effort he put into my case, especially during the difficult parts of the application. I’m very happy to say that my visa has now been approved. I’m genuinely grateful for his help and would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive immigration adviser. Thank you so much for all your help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend Hemant Kaushal at New Zealand Immigration Consultants highly enough. From our very first consultation, he made a complex and stressful process feel clear and manageable. Hemant was responsive, meticulous with every detail of my student visa application, and always took the time and was patient to answer all my questions honestly — no false promises, just sound expert guidance. My visa was approved without a hitch, and I'm certain that was down to their expertise and care. If you're looking for an immigration consultant in Auckland, look no further.
