Re: Companies to use
Hi Ashaide and welcome
You don't have to use a company for getting your visas, it is fairly easy to do yourself and much cheaper! Getting through the process and emigrating to NZ is expensive enough as it is
I didn't use a company and was granted PR last year and there are plenty of us on here who went down the DIY route. I suggest having a look at NZIS website and look at your options-are you after a temporary work visa or PR? What jobs do you do? Are they on the skills shortage list and if so are they on the longterm or the immediate list as this will affect which visa you may be able to get. Though other factors play a part as well.

If there is anything complicated or difficult about your circumstances it may be easier to get an agent to do it for you.
Bear in mind that advisors do have to be licensed or NZIS will reject your application. This is from the NZIS website:
So depending on your timescale it is probably best to go for a licensed one just in case!
Hope this helps

Do all advisers have to become licensed from 4 May 2009?
No. From 4 May 2009, all immigration advisers working in New Zealand must be licensed, unless exempt. INZ must refuse applications from unlicensed onshore advisers from this time. From 4 May 2010, all immigration advisers, whether working onshore or offshore, must be licensed unless exempt.
