End of week round up from New Zealand Shores, 11 December 2020

Let’s keep you all up to date on what has been happening and what the current status is at the New Zealand border.


General Update

It has been a hot week and there is a feeling of Christmas at the beach in the air... We are working hard to finalise pending applications before the holiday and INZ annual closure.

We currently have 55 cases of Covid in New Zealand, all of those coming from overseas and being managed in quarantine.

We've reported no community transmission since 18 November and we are enjoying life at level 1 (life as per usual).

The situation at the border with restrictions and exemptions has not changed. But there are now additional criteria to claim a quarantine spot for emergency/critical reasons though the threshold remains very high.

Well done Winnie!

Winnie's client is originally from China. She just got her partnership work visa approved and is over the moon with the outcome! See what she has to say about our service!

I started off my immigration process thinking I could DIY this, and looking back today I am glad I got help from them. Winnie is my advisor, she’s responsive and professional, always gave me practical and detailed advices not only on preparation of the document, what I need to translate, the timing and valid time of the certificates, but also tailored solutions to my specific situations. Definitely recommend!
