My initial call to NZ Emigration was out of desperation having failed on my own to secure a temporary work visa to work in New Zealand as a Teacher. Rosie quickly put my mind at ease with a positive and reassuring manner during this first call. Bearing in mind this was the day after Boxing Day! Rosie took time to talk through everything I needed to do to successfully apply for the correct Visa.

Right from the start of this process I was constantly informed of what was needed in terms of documentation and also used her extensive knowledge of the Immigration New Zealand system to ensure a successful application would be achieved. Applying for a Residency Visa is full of many potential pitfalls and after my experience I think it is essential to have a skilled Adviser on board to help. I was particularly impressed with Rosie’s very knowledgeable, informative and prompt replies to any issues that arose during the process.

Finally Rosie turned what could potentially have been a stressful experience into one that was enjoyable and satisfying. Oh, and we did get our Residency for New Zealand!
