New Zealand, in common with other countries, has a strict and complicated immigration policy which is constantly changing to accommodate the government’s politically inspired social and economic objectives. The policy and regulations are complicated and the onus is on all applicants to ensure that they meet all the requirements of the visa category they are applying under, therefore it is important to ensure that every aspect of the application is correctly presented, and no stone is left unturned.
This presents a problem for those that do not understand the New Zealand visa process and is made more difficult by the constant changes, especially in a post Covid-19 backdrop. If the application does not meet the specific immigration policy the application will fail, therefore it is only prudent to seek professional advice if you are not familiar with New Zealand immigration law, policy and procedure.
