Kia Ora! I would definitely and highly recommend Tri-Nations Migration. I have been referred to Chris from a friend of mine who insisted that I should at least apply online and take it from there. It was within 2 weeks when I got a phone call from Nicholas to advise further of where to start with the immigration process. At that time, I wasn't sure if I was ready yet to make a decision and I asked if I could meet Chris first. After I had my first consultation with Chris, I was a lot more confident and ready to make the right decision for my dream and future. I came to New Zealand and met other people who have also been using different immigration agencies, but I have heard so many complaints from them about their agents who have been charging them a lot more or extra for additional services and they don't always get all the information or answers they needed. I can say that Chris and his team are by far the best I ever had. I also met someone here in New Zealand who actually wanted to switch over to Tri-Nations Migration. Clintivene (one of the consultants working for Chris) has always been there to help with any assistance. If Chris was busy, she would always make sure to pass on my queries to Chris if she couldn't immediately help me with answers, but most of the time, she could answer them all. Chris and Clintivene have always responded / communicated to me in email. Chris and his whole team have been doing a phenomenal and an astounding job to help me get where I am now today. They are such a wonderful and a remarkable team providing the best services you can get. Today, I am living in a beautiful country where it is peaceful, relaxed and I feel like I have a lot of freedom here. I have a much better work/life balance here as well and the level of stress has reduced a lot compared to what I had in South Africa. I have never felt so welcomed in a country such as Aotearoa which is the Māori name for New Zealand. My neighbour, who is a born and bred kiwi that I have met, already welcomed me and she even asked who helped me to get where I am. When she looked at the photo of Chris on Google, she said that she can see Chris is a genuine and a decent man which is true since I have met him. Chris, Clintivene and the whole team, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for me getting out of your way to help me get where I am until I got my residency approved. I feel absolutely blessed with all of you. All of you are lovely people and it really felt like we have become a family. Hopefully, we can still keep in touch as all of you have touched my heart and made a significant difference. There has always been support from you and I really appreciate for all you did. It is a pity that Google reviews only allows to give a maximum of 5 stars, because I wanted to give you a lot more stars of what you deserve. Again, thank you all so much for everything and may all of you be blessed forever to make a difference in others' lives. Value creation, growth and prosperity. Kia ora me te tiaki! Nga mihi aroha, Arno
Tri Nation has assisted us from initial interviewing in SA to see if we qualified till residency. They supported us in every step along the way. They were very professional & responsive. Whilst i am in NZ and they are SA they still kept us updated in real time. Dealing with Chris & his team has been an absolute pleasure. Anyone looking at immigration should definitely use their services. They are without a doubt the best. With so many years of experience you can not ask for any better. Thanks again Tri Nations Regards The Hoffmans
We started with a simple enquiry in 2018 about the procedures of immigrating to NZ. After speaking to Chris and his team it became clear that Tri-Nations Migration was the right company to assist us with this massive decision. Chris being a kiwi himself gave us piece of mind that his experience and knowledge would get us to the point where we are today. The entire Tri-Nations team have assisted us with every step of the way with no questions or concerns every going unanswered. Today we are thankful to have our NZ residence visa and if you are looking at doing the same, I would 100% recommend Chris and the entire Tri-Nations team.
A breath of fresh air! I started my immigration journey back in 2019 with Chris and his expert, professional team by my side. The journey is still far from over, but the responsiveness and the human factor that was omni-present with when dealing with Tri-Nations Migrations, made it easier to deal with this MASSIVE hurdle of life. I have to point out that it is Chris and his team, as they work together as a unit, everyone always knowing exactly who I am and what my case is about. I am proud to promote Tri-Nations Migration as my personal heroes who have been with me on this ongoing journey, making sure that the cost is worth it.
Chris and his team are awesome, professionals, and qualified, and responsible and above all they are ready to feel are heart since fisrt day we met. They have heard our needs and helped us to walk to achieve it all. Lovely people and extremely professionals. I will recommend always. Indeed it is not a easy process and cheap but indeed it is worth of value. I do believe without doing our homework nothing will happen because Chris and his team will not make miracles and make ways but they will always work according to the currently laws in New Zealand. We worked hard throughout our documents but always alongside with that brilliant team. What I can remember since first day we met was his words, and he said: "Our statistics of approval is 99%, I will not get your process to work if I am not sure if you will be granted to the residence. But the final decision is not mine“. I felt confidence on him all the time. Fantastic person and very dedicate team. They know what they are doing with excellence. I can say today we have granted our residence but in 2017 when we met I was granted a friend, he is with the best person I have worked regarding to this matter. I could name over here each one of his team. Well done Chris Tunbridge. Thanks for everything. May God bless you and your team reachly more and more, and your business, and your family.

Chris, Thank-you for you and your staff's exceptional service in our residence- and other visa applications. I have approached other agents prior to you and their service cannot be compared to yours. Your professional and friendly support made our difficult journey much easier. The attention to detail ensured that our applications were dealt with efficiently and promptly. Thank-you for your pro-active roll and for always making enquiries on our behalf without me having to ask and for keeping us well informed. I really feel indebted to you for all that you have done. Heiko Draht & family
Thank you to Chris, Clintivene and the entire Tri-Nations team for their impeccable service! We started our immigration journey in November 2018 and from day 1, Tri-Nations were decisive with their advice and this most definitely gave us the confidence to, with their guidance and support, make informed decisions along the way. We lodged our application for Residency in March 2020, it was accepted in May, we were allocated a Case Officer in June and yesterday we received the news that our Residency application has been approved...the best news ever!!! We could not have done it without the dedication, professionalism and expertise of Tri-Nations Migration. Thank you once again!
Dear Chris, Clint, Nicole and the whole team at Tri-Nations Migration. Margitte and I cannot thank you enough for your support during the whole process of uprooting our lives in South Africa to make New Zealand our home. As everyone that went through the process knows and those yet to take the step it is a very daunting and stressful process. Chris and team took a lot of that off our shoulders. You're advice, guidance, support, honesty and ethical business conduct paid off. We cannot recommend Tri-Nations enough to anyone who wants to tackle this big life choice. From day 1 you were instrumental in each and every step from having our work VISAs approved until receiving our NZ residence. Our residence application was lodged in October 2019 and got approval on the 21st of May 2020, only 7 months despite COVID 19 and lockdown. Thanks a million. Chris and Margitte
