Applying for 175 PR in Auckland?

Hi,

I'm in Auckland now waiting for my skill assessment. I've my IELTS 7.0 in all bands and my Australian qualification/work certificates here. Is it possible that I lodge the application with the Australian Consulate here instead of the online version?

I went there to see the fee and it's stated $2250NZD which is lower than lodging online paying $2500AUD.

Anyone??

Hi,

Thx for your reply.
So does it mean that the price list is specifically for New Zealand citizen to apply? Otherwise there would be no point to put the price there as a signboard.

The cost is $2250 AUD no matter where you apply. It's likely a typo on the part of the consulate.
