New Zealand immigration help

We can help you whether you want to immigrate to New Zealand for work, study or business, or if you’re coming to visit beautiful Aotearoa for a shorter period. In New Zealand, it is not mandatory to have an immigration adviser or lawyer if you’re applying for residency, but if your case is risky or complicated, having us on your team will make the process smoother.

IDESI LEGAL have a personal and individual approach. Our immigration lawyers in Dunedin specialise in complex cases. We work for migrants and refugees for whom the New Zealand immigration process can be challenging, but we will not tell you just what you want to hear. We will discuss the true prospects of your case with you. 

Accredited Employer Work Visa 

The ‘Accredited Employer Work Visa’ came into effect in July 2022. For jobs paying over 200% of the median wage, which is set at $27.76 per hour, then the role does not have to be advertised. All other jobs have to be advertised and when listing job vacancies, it is important that employers get it right. Please contact IDESI LEGAL if you need assistance. 

The IDESI LEGAL in Dunedin can help businesses when advertising for new roles. Our immigration team can manage all the details throughout the entire process wherever you are in Otago. We can connect with you online and work with you using video calls. 

Changes to New Zealand work to residency visas

New Zealand now has a new Green List of 85 hard-to-fill, skilled roles that provide a pathway to NZ residency. People who work in one of the green list occupations, such as health workers, vets, engineers, tradespeople, and ICT specialists, and have a job offer from an accredited employer, can come to New Zealand on a work visa and apply for residence if they meet the criteria. 

However, it is not simply a matter of matching an immigrant and job title; the Green List is a very narrowly defined list, so get in touch. It is sometimes it is only a small error that can compromise a migrant’s entire immigration status in New Zealand, resulting in a long costly battle.

How can Idesi Legal, Dunedin, help with the Green List?

If you’re an employer in Dunedin or Otago, we can assess the applicants’ qualifications and see whether they have comparable New Zealand qualifications for the role.

Migrant workers play an important role in the hospitality industry in Queenstown and surrounding areas. Winemakers, viticultural workers and heavy machinery drivers make a valuable contribution by bringing their skills to the Otago wine industry.

If you’re applying to work in the South Island, we can advise on whether a job offer meets work to residency requirements, including income thresholds, whether you’re eligible for the job, and what that may mean for your partner. If necessary, we can explore what other visa options are open to you.
