Why We Start With an Eligibility Assessment

New Zealand’s immigration system is complex and frequently misunderstood. Many people apply too early, under the wrong category, or when their profile isn’t competitive. We use a short eligibility assessment to:

Identify

whether skilled migration pathways may be realistic

Avoid

unnecessary consultations and costs

Ensure

advice is relevant to your specific situation

If your profile appears suitable, you’ll be invited to book a paid strategy consultation with a licensed immigration adviser.

What Our Happy Clients Say

Yunus

Malaysia

"The only migration agency you need for AU and NZ. Heard a couple of bad experiences through my friends with other agencies. Ian, Jo and Hamish are thorough professionals and they mean business! It has been a wonderful journey indeed. Thank you IMMagine!"

Michael

South Africa

"A massive thank you to Tiffany, Hamish and Chen. Thanks to their knowledge, hard work and expertise, my family and I were fortunate to receive our 190 visa.

Chen and all the people we worked with at IMMagine, expertly guided us through this long process and we always knew that we couldn't be in better hands. They were professional, incredibly patient, understanding, knowledgeable and always a quick email away.

We will be eternally grateful for this wonderful opportunity!"

Or

Israel

"We used the services of IMMagine for our permanent residency application, and April and Kane were fantastic and very supportive all through the process. They were always super quick to respond, and communication was effortless, which is extremly important in thsi proces. Our visa was unique and unusual, but April worked closely with my employer to receive all the needed information, and it was excepted.
I would highly recommend IMMagine services."
