New Zealand Migration

Overview

New Zealand is well known as one of the most beautiful and cleanest countries in the world and tends to “sell itself” to intending migrants.

With a land area larger than the UK and a population of only 4.5 million, a vast range of outdoor activities and experiences are open to all.

It’s also a great place for children, with its world-class free education system and an open and free environment that is the envy of those parents raising children in densely populated and polluted cities across the world.

These lifestyle advantages, a transparent, well managed economy and significant labour shortages have attracted migrants from around the world with new arrivals now at record levels.

The annual net migration gain reached a record 72,000 in 2017.

FAQ

Are there any fees?
There are no professional fees of any kind.

If you would like us to obtain the Working Holiday Visa for you, we can do so for a nominal fee. It is a simple on-line process for most applicants and you are most welcome to apply on your own.

How about NZ Government Fees?
NZ Government fees are approximately NZ$200.
How long does it take to get the visa?
The applications are lodged on-line and official process time is currently 21 days.

We find most applications are decided within 7 days.

How long is the visa valid for?
Normally you can work for 12 months on a Working Holiday Visa.
Can I extend the visa so I can work longer?
You cannot extend a Working Holiday visa but if you are offered long term or permanent employment you might, repeat, might be eligible for a normal Work Visa for three years or more. This will depend on your skills and whether New Zealanders are available to take the role.

Extensions are extremely likely (and future residence is possible subject to conditions) if you have the skills to apply for the specific vacancies listed below.

What are our current vacancies?

For those with qualifications or experience in the following areas, there are a very substantial number of vacancies and your application would be most welcome.

Testimonials

Just want to thank you again for everything you have done for me and my family. We are eventually on our way to start our new lives. We fly to NZ on Sunday. We’re all very nervous and excited all at the same time. Well, there is no going back from here on, it’s all or nothing.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God bless you.

Adrian, Yolandé & baby Charlise Whitehead.
My family and I were assisted by David Mason Immigration to obtain our work visas for New Zealand. The advice, assistance as well as the knowledge offered by Mr Mason proved to be invaluable multiple times throughout the entire process. I personally struggled with credible agents to assist us with this process previously and will, therefore, personally and highly recommend David Mason’s services.

You are welcome to mail me any questions you might have in this regard.
Kind regards.

Hi David,

I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone concerned or interested in moving to NZ, your passage for me and my wife has been smooth and with the exception of delay’s within government depts which is out your control anyway, all questions and answers we had were dealt with by you and your staff with utmost urgency, and now over in NZ, your aftercare service is still in place as and when I require it.

I am now settled and looking forward to my new life in NZ, all thanks to David Mason and his staff both in UK and NZ.

MANY THANKS
