YOUR GUIDE TO LICENSED IMMIGRATION ADVISERS

Anyone providing New Zealand immigration advice in or outside New Zealand must be licensed by the Immigration Advisers Authority, unless exempt.

RISKS

The risks of using a person who is not licensed or exempt are:

•

Your visa application will be returned by Immigration

New Zealand (INZ). INZ does not accept applications from

unlicensed people acting illegally.

•

Unlicensed people may not be honest with you or INZ.

Lying on your visa application is a criminal offence and

dishonesty may affect your future visas or jobs.

•

Your application may be declined because the unlicensed

person has no immigration knowledge or skills.

REMEMBER

Stay away from anyone who:

•

refuses to put their name on your visa application

•

claims to have personal contacts at INZ

•

asks you to sign a visa application before it has been

filled out. You should never sign a document you don’t

understand.

Advisers for Sri Lanka

Licensed Immigration Advisers for New Zealand in Sri Lanka

We are not able to recommend a licensed Immigration Adviser or Agent you can use. 
You can access the list of Licensed Immigration Advisers to make your selection at the Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA) Website.
You are not required by Immigration New Zealand to have an agent or representative to apply for any visa.
We treat all applicants equally and we do not provide preferential service to applicants with an Adviser.
If you decide to use the services of an Immigration Adviser, then your Adviser must be licensed or exempt under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act from 4th May 2009 (4th May 2010 for offshore advisers).
You can find out more detailed information on licensing from the Immigration Advisers Authority.
