1st Contact New Zealand Visas

1st Contact New Zealand Visas have a dedicated team of consultants and caseworkers who specialise in New Zealand visas and immigration services. Let 1st Contact Visas manage your visa application so that you can live and work in New Zealand sooner.

New Zealand does peace and quiet like nowhere else. Its spectacular scenery, laid-back culture and chilled way of life all make for the perfect work-life balance. Emigration to New Zealand is currently very popular among skilled workers around the world.

For migrants, New Zealand is the perfect land of opportunity with its growing economy and a sought-after lifestyle. Currently, it has a skills shortage in many professions and trades. The New Zealand Immigration Service (NZIS) has structured its migration policy around these skills shortages.

Why 1st Contact?

When you apply for a visa, you have two options:

  1. You can take the DIY route and work directly through the UK Border Agency website  
  2. You can work through an agency like 1st Contact Visas.

While doing things yourself could save you money in the short term, the benefits of working with us could outweigh many risks and implications that you could face in the long run.

With us, you get:

  • Help with your specific application. We don't believe that any visa application is generic – you have a different background and may have very unique needs from the next applicant.
  • Industry expertise. We're known for being specialists in the immigration industry. With over 250 staff in our London, Melbourne and Cape Town offices, we have the knowledge and resources to make sure your migration journey runs smoothly.
  • Dedicated consultants, here to talk you through your visa options.
  • Less stress. We apply on your behalf, and take care of the admin for you.
  • No gimmicks. If you don't get the visa, we don’t charge for our services.
