Working with New Zealand Shores was a breeze. After filling in the online assessment we received a clear proposal which was clearly explained by Sanjeev in a first call. Once we confirmed the agreement we started working with Frederick. The whole process was very clear and all our questions were constantly and timely answered. Frederick took very good care of us and we managed to get all our paperwork sorted. We started the process in May 2025, secured a job in July 2025 and immigrated to New Zealand in October 2025. We would highly recommend New Zealand Shores, a very professional organisation.
I highly recommend New Zealand Shores to anyone beginning their journey toward making New Zealand their home away from home. Frederick has been an incredible guide throughout our SMC resident visa journey. He helped us navigate every challenge with such positivity, even when the process took an unexpected turn. His encouragement and dedication truly kept us going. We truly appreciated how supportive and flexible he was. He responded promptly to our emails, explained everything clearly, and kept us well-informed at every stage. Frederick went above and beyond gathering all the necessary supporting documents and taking so much of the stress off our shoulders. Frederick, you’re a real crackerjack! 😊 We’re so grateful for all your help and guidance. Thank you, New Zealand Shores, for your excellent service and continued support - keep up the great work!
My family and I worked with Sanjeev from NZ Shores from early 2023 when we still lived overseas until October 2025. He first helped us with a Partnership Work Visa and sponsorship for my husband and son and most recently with their residency application. Our application was a bit of a complex one and without his expertise I can honestly say I don’t think we would have received either of these visas. Working with him over the past two years was a wonderful experience and his professionalism, knowledge and promptness is unmatched in terms of customer service I have experienced. He took so much stress off our shoulders and it is because of his hard work that my family can now stay permanently in New Zealand. I highly recommend Sanj from NZ Shores to anyone looking to use their services!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Exceptional Immigration Experience! We can’t thank New Zealand Shores Immigration Consultation Services enough for helping make our dream of moving from the United States to New Zealand a reality! After first starting this process with another immigration consultancy (who shall remain unnamed), we felt frustrated, overlooked, and like we were being strung along for endless consultation fees. Then we found NZ Shores, and everything changed. Our initial consultation was with Julia Cooke, who immediately earned our trust and gave us the clarity and confidence we needed to move forward. Julia helped guide us in the right direction and set the foundation for what would become a smooth and successful journey. From there, we were assigned to Clintivene Sechel, who was absolutely incredible — professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success. Clintivene guided us through every step with honesty, clarity, and care. There was no hidden jargon, no confusion, and no surprises — just straightforward, expert advice and well-organized documentation that made an incredibly complex process feel manageable. We began our journey in February, and now, at the end of October, we’re sitting in the airport in New Zealand, ready to start our new life! I even start my new job on Tuesday! To anyone considering making the move to New Zealand: don’t waste your time elsewhere. NZ Shores is the real deal — professional, transparent, and truly supportive from start to finish. Thank you again to Julia, Clintivene, and the entire NZ Shores team — we couldn’t have done it without you!

I had an excellent experience with New Zealand & Australian Shores Immigration Advisers. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly supportive and made the entire process feel seamless. They took the time to walk me through all the available options and scenarios, and were always available to answer my questions or provide follow-up whenever I needed. What stood out the most was how efficient and smooth everything was - the process was much faster than I could have imagined, and they made something that initially felt overwhelming seem simple and straightforward. Their professionalism, clear communication, and care made a world of difference. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for trustworthy and knowledgeable immigration advisers.
