A bit of a late review, but was quite upset with the way they dont show you a practical picture being an offshore applicant. They happened to do my application process and helped me with everything from education assessments to job assistance letter. But the hard reality is its just too hard to get a job by being offshore and is never discussed at the application stage. I did have to pay half the fee for the application process and obviously was a lesson learnt for me. I am sure they do provide good services but would stay away if you are an offshore applicant.
Hi, We used New Zealand shores as our immigration agent during our move from the Netherlands to New Zealand. Especially due to the time difference, NZ Shores acted as our voice and ears during this process. Immigration can be a rollercoaster of emotions; it takes time and tests your patience. I would especially like to thank Chelsea for helping us through this process. By keeping calm and clear in her communications, she managed to keep me calm and patient. Her efforts resulted in a residency visa for my family and me, so can only say that NZ shores have helped us very successful. Robert
Our sincere gratitude and appreciation to our immigration agent Winnie Wang. The word thank you is not enough because your effort and support has changed our life. We are very grateful and happy that finally our dream is coming true because of your support. You always helped us in preparing documents. You explained the whole process to us from skill assessment up to permanent residency and made it a stress free process all throughout. You are truly knowledgeable, skilled and your empathy throughout the process has been phenomenal. You have been professional, friendly, helpful and no matter how many times we have asked questions, never failing to answer our concern and explained all the details that we needed. Despite all the challenges, changes and travel limitations we are experiencing in 2020 due to the global pandemic crisis, you have been with us through our journey. We highly recommend New Zealand Shores to anyone who are is in need of Visa processing assistance to New Zealand. Your service and professionalism is truly impeccable. Keep up the good work and keep helping others to make their dreams be fulfilled in New Zealand. God bless you more and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I can highly recommend Winnie and the team from NZ Shores. We have been clients since October 2018. Our visa renewal and residency application journey hasn’t been easy. Our renewal visa was rejected by INZ due to a medical condition. Based on that we only received a 6 months temporary visa. We had to provide a detailed justification/reasons to INZ with Winnie's help why they should grant a 3 year Essential Skills visa. We had a 5 day deadline to meet. Winnie worked tirelessly and over the weekend to draft a letter. The letter was submitted the morning of the deadline date. The rest is history. As of 4 July 2022 we are NZ Residents. We are grateful and never regret the fact that we decided to make use of NZ Shores services. Karel, Theresa and Sebastiaan Gierke
As we all know immigrating can be stressful, keep you from sleeping, give you anxiety and make you feel powerless, well working with New Zealand shores has eliminated all these negative elements of immigration and replaced it with the confidence of feeling in control, knowing exact time lines, providing peace of mind during night and day - For this I have my thanks to give to Clintivene Sechel my immigration agent whom I will gladly work with to obtain my residency and citizenship. Its been smooth sailing in a see of storms. Thanks New Zealand shores.
We were one of those families who felt that we do not need an agent, as immigration seems easy. Then everything changed! The paper-work was over whelming and so incredibly specific, the visa's changed and there were all these additional checks we could just not get organized. Then came NZ Shores - thank the heavens for Clintivene and all the people at NZ shores who were just there every single time we sent an email or a message. No request was too big, no time to late to check in and even though we got anxious, Clintivene never made us feel like we are a bother for asking our questions. We received emails at midnight, because Clintivene knew that she is working on NZ time. She really went the extra mile by staying up, follow up and calling people up to help when our time for visa approval was running out. Today, we can say that we are packed for NZ. We'll see you again in 24 months for Residency. Thank you for all you've done for us
Well I don't know where to start, right from the beginning, they were absolutely brilliant. they helped me all the way through, which has been great throughout my immigration process from UK to New Zealand. Clintivene Sechel has been exceptionally helpful and approachable whenever I needed any kind of assistant from her. Weather its on professional as well as personal level, they are absolutely fantastic company to work with and I think in almost every way they made my journey hasslefree as much as they possibly could.
Chelsea from New Zealand Shores is phenomenal! Our residency application journey hasn’t been a straightforward one, dare we say, like a rollercoaster ride. Turns out being pregnant when applying for residency just made the process a lot more complicated! However, Chelsea has been very patient and professional in handling our case, going back and forth between INZ and us for countless of times. Not only that, she kept encouraging us when we were low. We have been a client of New Zealand Shores since 2018 and have been happy with their services. We would wholeheartedly recommend Chelsea and New Zealand Shores team to anyone.
