We are so pleased that we chose New Zealand Shores to help us secure our Parent Residency.
The way they are organised is excellent and the portal is so helpful and easy to use. Uploading information is very simple and given the amount of information required, this is a really important benefit.
Their location in Hamilton is easy to access and I guess being outside of Auckland enables them to be competitively priced.
The staged payment arrangement is also very helpful.
We were looked after by Charlotte Stockman who could not have been more helpful and encouraging. Her support was invaluable throughout the process which for us, turned out to be very lengthy due to the disruption caused by covid.
We are fortunate to be writing this from our new home in Auckland and we would not hesitate to recommend New Zealand Shores as Immigration Advisors.
JAMIE & FAMILY
It was the best decision for us to choose New Zealand Shores as our immigration agents. They not only helped us realize our dreams of coming to New Zealand but they stood by us for over 4 years whilst Covid happened and the world changed. Their service was very professional and this showed by their awesome approach and dedication towards us as their clients. We dealt with a few various persons over the years from New Zealand shores but ultimately Melissa helped us over the last and main hurdles in getting here as well as obtaining our residency. She is always friendly & always responded quickly to any concerns or queries we had. Melissa and her team are simply the best. Our advice to anyone wanting to immigrate to New Zealand is phone New Zealand Shores today!!!!
To Melissa and the team, we don't have enough words to adequately describe how grateful we are. You have ensured our family is safe, happy and able to look forwards to a future full of endless possibilities. Thank you… Warm Regards Mark. Jamie, Hunter and Lily Lennard.

We all got our Citizenship last year and is stoked to feel part of New Zealand. I still cannot thank you enough for what you have done for us in giving us the ability to settle here. I'm still working in Christchurch Aletta is changing jobs from Motorhome Technician to Manufacturing Technician.
My son who is still in South Africa (...) will start with the full assessment and process for also immigrating. I will assist him where it is possible (...). I am so grateful that he decided to move here.
SANDRA
New Zealand Shores was recommended to us by a friend. We have never looked back. Our agent Fabien made us feel as if our situation mattered, like we were the only clients he had, (and he has many indeed). Fabien has been patient, kind, professional and gave us a life line at an overwhelming time in our lives. He kept us calm about the process, explained and explored all avenues with us and push forward to MAKE IT WORK!
We are very grateful for the recommendation from our friend to use New Zealand Shores and would like to pass the blessing on to you. If you are considering emigrating to New Zealand, if you are wanting to apply for residence, a visa alteration, or a visa extension, look NO further than New Zealand Shores. Reasonable, affordable and excellent, quality service.

On behalf of myself and my family I would like to convey or deepest appreciation for everything you have done. You have been amazing to work with. I would recommend you a billion times over. This process is stressful, it's hard, it hasn't always shown my best side but through it all you've absolutely been there and you've treated us like we are your only clients. You are professional, kind, hard working and I honestly always felt like you were looking out for us.
BERTUS
We want to thank Eddie from the bottom of our hearts to make our dream a reality.
Whenever we had doubts you kept reassuring us and were always there to answer any questions.
Words cannot describe how thankful and grateful we are for this especially in the current circumstances.
We will highly recommend you to anyone!
Again thank you for everything.
NIEL
Every company has a brand behind them, what makes them unique and successful, is delivering on their promises, meeting their client's expectations and providing a truly memorable experience. Without a doubt, New Zealand Shores exceeded our expectations and ensured that what would in the face of things be ordinarily considered to be a daunting and difficult transition, was in fact really pleasant and as stress free as possible.
What sets Sarah and her team apart is that they truly care about their clients and their specific needs. New Zealand Shores pride themselves in the industry that they are in and they are certainly a world class company. They are proactive and efficient, having worked faster than we could have imagined.
If your dream like ours, is to work and live in the land of the long white cloud, reach out to New Zealand shores and give yourself the opportunity to be in the care of professional, highly experienced and trusted immigration specialists.
New Zealand Shores is the indeed the finest in its industry and we were immensely fortunate to have used their services. We sincerely thank you Sarah and your team for the support and dedication to help fulfil our dreams and goals.
HOPE
I cannot say enough positive things about NZ Shores! The whole process was made so simple by all of the excellent help we got from Charlotte. My husband and I couldn't quite believe obtaining residency could go so smoothly. If you are even slightly daunted by the visa process, I couldn't recommend their services more.
JULIA
Excellent professional immigration advisors. Before contacting them, I was in a total confusion since I didn't know: how? what? why? and so on but now I worry no more because I have been given a very clear direction on the entire process that awaits me.
Bravo!!!!
KNUT
Five stars not enough! What an amazing service, determination to succeed for their customer and never give up. From a difficult starting point, Sarah and her team got to work and this month the reward came. Suma and I are forever grateful! Thank you so much! If you were ever in doubt, doubt no longer - NZ Shores will get it done for you.
AVRIL
New Zealand shores were the 3rd immigration advisors I called. Although the first 2 were licensed by the immigration advisors authority, the first one seemed in no way inclined to help me at all and the second person I called was blatantly trying to rip me off. Anyways that's why I was so adamant I must leave a review for New Zealand shores as when searching yourself it's difficult to know who to trust. What can I say, the guys were amazing ! In particular it was Allan who turned a dismal looking visa situation into an approval ! They have a no win no fee agreement for a start but even then their fees are extremely reasonable. Very helpful and reassuring and unbelievably prompt. I didn't even have to go in to see anyone, the whole situation was organised via email and phone call. Literally could not fault his amazing service.
SOPHIE
New Zealand Shores went above and beyond to get the result we wanted. Their patience & knowledge makes the whole process smooth and easy (even when times can be stressful) they are always on hand to chat, reassure you and help out in any way they can! I strong recommend NZ Shores to anyone who is thinking about moving to New Zealand. I can't thank Charlotte and the team enough, you have made two people incredibly happy!
WESLEY
These guys are super stars! If we could give you more stars we would...! Always giving helpful knowledge, advice & service!
ESTELLE
Thank you for your support with our visa and residency application. Eddie you were great and was very professional and you managed to calm my nerves when it got the better of me. Thank you for your personalised service and making the process easy to understand.
JUN
NZ Shores has helped me decide on coming back to NZ. They have provided me with very practical and organised information regarding how to prepare to move to downunder. Their website is easy to read, even sending up to date information regarding guiding new lives in NZ via email. Eddie and NZ Shores team are professional, they are always there to listen to you.
KARL
Excellent Service! Highly Recommended! Immigrating is such a stressful experience and New Zealand Shores made the process so much easier and less daunting. They have gone above and beyond and Allan truly made us feel at ease with the entire process. If anyone is in search of quality immigration advisers then look no further.
JOSH
Tobias at New Zealand Shores was a huge help in my partner and I getting our work visas processed in a very timely manner. He was very attentive and responded promptly to all of our emails. I would highly recommend New Zealand Shores for anyone wanting to move to New Zealand.

BRANDON & CHARLENE
One word to describe NZ Shores ..... AMAZING! We engaged NZ Shores services to assist us with our immigration from South Africa to New Zealand. We have now been living in New Zealand for almost 2 years and we can only thank NZ Shores for this. They are always so professional and very helpful. They provided us with support and assistance through the entire immigration process. Thank you so much NZ Shores.
VERONIX
My experience, with this company was wonderful. They are kind, responsible and look after every detail.
I am so happy to have that kind of team.
I want to say, everyone can trusted on them.
JONO
The service that my wife and I received from Charlotte was excellent. The professional advice and guidance that we received was a strong determinant of the end result. I highly recommend making use of NZ Shores to ensure that you obtain your required visas, to ultimately live in New Zealand indefinitely.
ARNAB
It was indeed a great experience with NZ shores and my adviser - Eddie, who helped me at every way to get settled in NZ from USA. I thoroughly enjoyed their vast experience , distinct professionalism and unique way to treat each customer with dignity. I wish NZ shores all the best for their future success and would definitely recommend them to others. Cheers
ANDREW
I wish I could give more than 5 stars, Sarah and her team are amazing. After going through the Canadian Immigration to sponsor my wife by myself, having an advisor for moving to New Zealand was my top priority. Problems that would have taken hours, if not days, to understand and solve were taken care of by a simple email or phone call. New Zealand Shores went above and beyond to make my move easy and the service you will get is world class.
ALISTAIR
Choosing New Zealand Shores as our agent was the best decision we could’ve made. After using an agent in SA (epic fail), I can definitely say that using NZS was by far the better option. Working with Allan and his team was quick and easy. They are thorough and professional; and will offer you the best advice you may need for you and family’s move to NZ. Thank you NZS
LISA
Working with NZ Shores was incredible, nothing was too much, every question, every worry and concern was answered to make the move from UK possible.
Sarah was unbelievable and beyond helpful, our ‘live the dream’ was made reality because of how Sarah and NZ worked and advised us.
We can’t thank Sarah and NZ Shores enough, incredible. Thank you
MICHELLE
Just obtained NZ Residency using the services of New Zealand Shores. Excellent and professional service throughout the entire process and complete peace of mind dealing with Eddie and the team. The use of the electronic portal system streamlines the process tremendously. Any of our questions were answered efficiently and timeously. I highly recommend this agency for your immigration requirements. Thank you New Zealand Shores!!
JILL
Charlotte and the team at New Zealand Shores are absolutely amazing! Cant recommend them more. Since arriving in NZ Charlotte has been so helpful with any queries we have had and again assisted us with further help in obtaining another visa, taking a lot of the stress off us for the second time! Great work guys, highly recommend them!!
LEWIS & NYKOLA
We used New Zealand Shores initially to help with a work visa, and then we made mistakes on our residency application so they picked that up for us. The amount of stress and pressure that was taken off us knowing that Anurag (Eddie) had everything under control was immense. I would and have been recommending to everyone looking to work or live in this beautiful country. Thank you to the team for making our dreams come true.
FELI
Sarah Crome has always provided us with excellent, efficient and fast customer service. Sarah and her team were contactable at all times and every time we had any queries or questions they got back to us straight away. We highly recommend New Zealand Shores to anyone who wants to immigrate to Nz.
Big thanks to Sarah and her partners for their efforts!
MITCH
I have been dealing with NZ Shores since 2015. They're outstanding. It was a smooth operation to say the least. Any question I wanted answered were, at anytime of the day. Allan Crome was especially good. He has a wealth of knowledge and helped/communicated everything I needed to know. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who is looking for help to move to NZ. The money spent with is reasonable but more than that worth the peace of mind.
VENKAT
Very competent immigration advice, transparent fees structure, prompt communication - these guys are real experts. Highly impressed with their quick initial assessment, preparation and lodging of my Residence application. I felt my application was in safe hands and I am incredibly happy with the outcome. Highly recommended if you are seeking some peace of mind in your visa processing and great value for your bucks. Thank you and best wishes to the team at NZ Shores!
STEPH
Sarah was amazing and her knowledge and experience were priceless. I would recommend anyone to use Sarah and NZ Shores to help them with their visa applications, they made the process so much less stressful than if I were to try and do it on my own. Even after my visas have been granted, to this day Sarah is still so helpful with any questions I may have and responds immediately to my emails. Thank you so much for making my dream become reality!
MEL
From the moment that I contacted NZ shores to help us with our NZ visas, they made us feel that they are our partners in this life-changing decision.
They were quick to respond and very professional in dealing with challenges. Their expertise and pieces of advice helped us greatly in providing everything needed for the visas.
When we arrived here in NZ, they sent links on websited that can help us start our lives here and make the transition bearable for us.
Thank you, NZ shores. You are a blessing to us. We pray that you continue to be a blessing to others.
