A quick, honest note.

NZIHS is a licensed New Zealand immigration advisory practice — not a recruitment agency. We don't offer jobs or sponsored migration. What we do is help you understand your real options and build a proper plan. Everything at the seminar is general information; personalised advice comes later, only if you choose it.

Who this is for.

Whether you're only starting to wonder if New Zealand is possible, or you're ready to move — this seminar is built for you. Nurses. Teachers. Engineers. Tradespeople and skilled workers. Parents planning a better future for their children. Partners of someone already in NZ. Students looking at a study-to-residence path. If any of that sounds like you, you belong in the room.

Why Attend?

Why attend?

This isn't just a lecture. It's your chance to get real answers to your questions, face to face.

🛂
Discover your visa options
Work, student, partner, residence — we'll explain the pathways and which ones tend to fit which situations, so you leave knowing your direction.
🧭
Understand where you stand
We'll walk through what each pathway actually asks for, so you can see which direction fits your situation and what to look at next. General information — the personalised piece is the Strategic Visa Assessment.
⚠️
Avoid costly mistakes
Most rejections come from simple, avoidable mistakes. We'll show you the ones that quietly end applications.
❓
Ask us directly
Speak face to face with licensed advisers — not a chatbot, not an FAQ. Real people who've done this.
🎁
Take home real resources
You'll leave with a pathway checklist, an honest cost breakdown, and clear next steps — yours to keep.
👨‍👩‍👧
For your family too
Your spouse and dependent children can often be included. Find out how to plan the move as a family.

How It Works

What happens at the seminar

Just two hours. No lecture, no jargon — straight to what matters.

1
Orientation — What are your options?
We'll explain the visa pathways to New Zealand — work visa, student visa, partner visa, and residence. You'll find out which ones fit your situation.
2
Deep Dive — Residency pathways
We'll cover the Green List, Skilled Migrant Category, and Residence from Work — how to qualify, how long it takes, and what you need to prepare.
3
Mistakes — And how to avoid them
We'll show you the most common reasons applications get rejected. Many of them are simple mistakes that are easy to avoid.
4
Open Q&A — Ask us anything
No script. No filter. Ask the questions you've been wanting to ask — we'll answer them directly. This is the most valuable part of the seminar.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask us most before they register.

Is it really free?
Yes. Attending costs nothing, and there's nothing you have to buy. If you decide to go further afterwards, that's your choice.
Do I need to already qualify?
No. Come whether you're just exploring or ready to apply. The seminar is where you learn how the pathways work.
Is this a job offer or recruitment?
No. We're a licensed NZ immigration advisory — not a recruiter. We don't offer jobs or sponsorship.
I don't know which visa is right for me.
That's normal — and it's what the seminar helps with, in general terms. For your specific case, that's what a Strategic Visa Assessment is for.
Can I bring my partner or family?
Yes — but each person needs their own seat. Please register them too so we can save a place.
What happens after I register?
A confirmation email straight away, a call from our Philippines team (+63) to confirm your seat, and a reminder the day before with parking and what to bring.

Are you ready?

Choose the location nearest you and save your seat. Free, no obligation — just honest answers from people who've made the move themselves.
