Before you apply
Requirements overview
What we typically help you assemble before submission — your counsellor confirms the exact list for your visa category and personal circumstances.
Passport & photographs
A valid passport and recent passport-style photographs meeting the destination's specifications.
Proof of funds
Evidence that you can support yourself for the length of your stay.
Purpose-specific documents
An offer letter, invitation, itinerary or employment contract — whatever supports the reason for your trip.
Completed application
The visa application form itself, filled in accurately and without gaps.
Supporting evidence
Additional documents specific to your visa category and personal circumstances.
Requirements vary by visa category and change without notice — the list above is a starting point, not a guarantee of what your specific application will need. Embassies and immigration authorities make the final decision on every application.

New Zealand questions, answered
Tourist, business, student, work and family visas, along with other categories Immigration New Zealand administers — eligibility and requirements are set by that authority and can change.
Many student visa holders can work limited hours during term time under current Immigration New Zealand rules, which are subject to change — we confirm the current position before you rely on it.
New Zealand has offered post-study work pathways for eligible graduates in the past, though eligibility and availability are set by Immigration New Zealand and change — we check the current position rather than assume it still applies.
Skilled and employer-assisted work visa categories exist, each with its own eligibility criteria set by Immigration New Zealand. We assess your profile against the current categories before you apply.
