Visa support in New Zealand

“Idesi has guided me through the complexities of the process to apply for a Partnership Residence Visa. Since I first contacted them in earlier this year, I've appreciated the professional, friendly and prompt service, and it's been great to know that someone with detailed local knowledge and experience has been liaising with Immigration New Zealand on my behalf. Last week, I was delighted to receive a call from the principal lawyer at Idesi congratulating me on the award of my Residence Visa. I am grateful to Idesi for their able assistance through this essential first step in our adventure to move to Aotearoa.”

“The Lawyers at CLC are always very helpful and informative, & the many times I have sort legal advice, there has always been a positive outcome. I Highly recommend the free service CLC offers our local community.”

“My case is still ongoing so I don't know if this review is relevant, but I was lucky enough to find Anna Chapman over two and a half years ago and she has been incredibly helpful. From the outset, she was the only lawyer I spoke to who understood my position and wanted to see me as soon as possible. Since then she has been invaluable both as a skilled lawyer and someone who inspired hope and trust. I cannot recommend Anna, and Claudia Leathart who has assisted her, enough.”

“I always believe it is a right choice when choosing Lane Neave years ago. Especially when we were dropped into real difficulties about our migrant visa, they could clarify complicated situations and figure out a good solution. Their professional skills and positive attitudes have helped us get through the long hard time. We gratefully appreciate Ken Huang, Caro, and other team members.”

“Had an amazing service from Shamsul Alam. He was very patient and kind in dealing with us.”

“I'm a South African national who had my Full medical immigration exam done with Victoria Park Medical Suites on August 2025. I found the practice absolutely clean and modern furnishings. The staff were extremely helpful and the nurse was gentle and friendly in how she performed her duties. I was then attended by Dr Grabiel NG who was so much more professional and amazingly friendly. I found the staff to be very dedicated in providing top notch medical care. I received my full medical results within 1 day- extremely efficient and would show my appreciation in thanks to Victoria Park Medical Suites for their great Service After Intensive research, I found them the most affordable in Auckland and feared the worst. But to my surprise,they are absolutely amazing Thank you so much once again HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”

He is experienced, has a vast knowledge of INZ's rules and regulations and is truly efficient in his work. I can confidently say he could be relied upon for any immigration needs. Keeping his straightforward and detail-oriented approach, he guided us as a family member and handled our case above his usual work limits. I can’t thank him enough for his guidance and support; I highly recommend him for immigration services. We feel fortunate to have him as our advisor.”

“Kia Ora I have been working for lowie recruitment since April 2nd 2023 to date. I was desperately looking for work at the time as I left my full time job and hadn't been working for 1 month. I drived by and did a walk in and ask at the office if they had any vacancies going they asked if I had any machine licences I had counter balance and reach licence. They set me up in the room with a lot of paper work the process was straight forward and easy as I had all documents required. The consultant who I was dealing with at the office was really nice and friendly I think her name was Oceania.so the day I sign up was around 12 clock and I started the new job the same day at 2 clock at vitaco as a machine operator reach on the afternoon shift and Ive been there since working 40 hours week. I enjoy that work is only 5m away from home locally. The jobs has allot of opportunities there.. Marie was the lady who I was messaging at time fast reply and very understandable on absence...

Thank you guys for the good service cheers Taylar paora.”

“Theresa Fitzsimmons is amazing, incredibly efficient and explains things in easy to understand language. We are very impressed and happy to be working with her. Highly recommend Young Hunter Lawyers.”

“Just been to UC open day with my daughter. She will be attending in 2027. Such a fabulous experience. All the hype of open night delivered in Wellington, re delivered and experienced in campus. Super knowledgeable staff and extraordinarily kind and patient student help. Such a great vibe and so removed from my own experience it makes me want to go back to learning. Can't recommend this Uni any higher.”

“I was intending to purchase a home off-the-plan. Robin went through the Sale & Purchase Agreement and quickly noticed clauses that were not in my favour. Great work by Robin and Lawhub. I will be using them again.”

“Great legal advice and super friendly efficient and fast team.”

“This is a two part review, as I want to make sure I give thanks to both lawyers for the services they done for me. 1. Rebekah Revell, thank you for helping me reconnecting with my daughter , I'm sorry it has taken me this long to thank you and give you the 5 star service you deserve. You are fantastic, knowledgeable, and your confidence is backed by skills and experiences. Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your work. 2. Matthew Barnett, I don't think I can fully express how much I appreciate you and how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with you. The court system did me wrong, took my daughter away unfairly and it was the most difficult and painful period of my life. Now that I am done with all that, I got my daughter back thanks to our combined effort, I appreciate you, and I'm very grateful that I had the chance to meet you. you are kind, knowledgeable, and skilled at what you do. Looking back, I recall times where you and I had to really face some difficult challenges, particularly just one person, Im sure you know whom i am talking about. But we got through it together and dealt with the situation professionally and with a hint of humour. You are a great lawyer, but the best thing is that you are an even better person. I truly hope you do well in this industry and help more people like myself, you're doing god's work. Thank you Rebekah and Matthew. Kindest and warmest regards Tony”

“Bridget and the team at Foundation Legal were phenomenal! They made our house sale and next purchase super easy and always had time to explain things to us. They also did a fantastic job with our wills, we cannot rate them high enough!”

“Great team to work with, very professional and guided me through the processes step by step. Definitely recommend.”

“Recently used Caen Chapman-Taylor after being recommended by a friend, for the purchase of my first home. Excellent service, very knowledgeable; Caen provided sound advice during negotiations, helped me stand my ground and pointed out inaccuracies in the S&P agreement. He was helpful, clear & concise and very easy to work with. Caen tailored his service to me, never made me feel out of my depth and is incredibly kind. Having Caen in my support network during this time, made the whole experience very pleasant, straight forward and stress-free! I cannot recommend him enough.”

“After being in a tough and stressful few months at work I decided it was time to seek lawyer support. From the first interaction with Liz at Lane Neave, I felt like I was listened to and genuinely cared for. Liz's knowledge, confidence, down to earth and caring nature is exactly what I needed to get through a tough time. The communication was great and the presentation of my case itself was professionally executed. Each interaction with anyone at Lane Neave immediately put me at ease and they would always deliver the reassurance i needed if i had any questions or concerns. I do not wish for friends or family to get to a stage where they need an employment lawyer, but if they do, I will be highly recommending Liz and Lane Neave.”

“Laurie is the best employment lawyer I have met”

“We worked with Ari Barrow & Lisa Mackintosh on the purchase of our new build and we highly reccommend them to anyone needing property-related legal advice! The process was challenging at times, but Ari & Lisa provided timely advice and support to effectively navigate issues and arrive at a solution that best fit our needs. We will be using Corcoran French in future.”

“Had a really good experience at Rydges Latimer Christchurch with my Lion group from Taiwan. I was struggling to find a place to park the coach, and Lama from the Front Office came out straight away to help. He showed me the possible parking spots and then personally guided my group through reception to the restaurant. Even though he was busy at the front desk, he still made sure everything went smoothly for us. We had dinner at Bloody Mary’s, and the restaurant was great. Everyone had steak booked, but since I don’t eat steak, they kindly arranged chicken for me. The food was really good and the whole team looked after us well. Big thanks to Lama and the staff at Rydges for making our visit easy and welcoming.”

“Wonderful, stay at Crowne Plaza In Christchurch. Terrific Location! Central to everything. Staff were all so pleasant and so helpful. Would certainly stay here again. Rooms were lovely, modern and well equipped.”

“Friendly service but they do shut pretty early on weekends make sure to check the hours”

“Needed to see the JP, great welcomer and the JP was really good all done in 12mins”
