Basic New Zealand emigration rules

This video was made by the Migration Bureau, a company that helps people migrate. He split the process into four steps: immigration assessment, residence visa processing, job search, and settlement. You fill out an immigration assessment for them to see and decide if you have a good enough chance for them to take your case, and if you do they will explain the process more in depth. He said that “At that stage you’re not committed, and it’s confidential and you and your family can decide whether or not you proceed with the application process”. For step two you are assigned a consultant to help explain and go through the visa process with you. The process is basically get your qualifications and paperwork in order, like the residence applications, all together there could be 200 different forms and documentation. The company will then send the applications to the New Zealand Immigration Service for you, then you will have medical, police and character checks. Once approved they have placement companies that will help you with step three, job placement. In step four they help you set up everything from bank accounts to flights to shipping your belonging to New Zealand. The Migration Bureau is a full service agency that is there every step of the way.

This was a decent source, it didn’t go into detail because it assumed you would be using their company and they could explain everything to you once you contact them. It didn’t really provide information about how to do it on your own so the application process wasn’t outlined well. However, it was able to convey a sense of difficulty in emigrating to New Zealand, it made it very clear that there were many forms and processes required to complete the entire undertaking.
