Our Mission
In Afrikaans there is a saying, “dis die lekker lewe”, which nicely translates to a great life; we aim to provide that pathway to our clients through immigration consultation in New Zealand.
We believe in making the immigration process as easy and financially achievable as possible. We believe in quality of service, not quantity of numbers, therefore we do not employ marketing and salespersons to recruit large numbers of clients.
We rather strive to give value for money to a selected few clients whom we are able to render a professional service at all times.
Our assessments and day to day services are provided by licensed advisers and immigration consultant in New Zealand, who understand the legal complications and issues when dealing with Immigration law.
WHY CHOOSE AN ADVISER
It is common for person to want to do it themselves, it is equally common for applications being returned or declined by Immigration New Zealand.
Mistakes are costly, you may lose your job offer, which means you won’t be earning New Zealand dollars.
That is unnecessary stress that is added to your life before being able to settle in your new country.
We have a more than 99% proven success rate, and have assisted numerous clients for the last 12 years, all of them are now happily settled in New Zealand.
One should ask yourself the following question; what is the price you put on gaining Citizenship of a first World Country?
Is it worth less than buying the latest sedan vehicle, which may not last more than 5 years? Or would you rather pay a fraction of that price to gain Citizenship with all the benefits it entails?
