Home - For advisers

Welcome

These pages are dedicated to licensed immigration advisers, also known as immigration consultants or registered migration agents.

Among other things, you can discover how to:

get a licence to give immigration advice
conduct yourself professionally as an adviser
manage your immigration advice business and more.

Anyone providing immigration advice about New Zealand immigration matters must be licensed unless they are exempt. People needing to be licensed may include education agents, recruiters, and travel workers. Immigration New Zealand will not accept applications or requests from people who are neither licensed nor exempt.

If you are not exempt and you knowingly provide immigration advice without a licence, you could face a fine of up to NZ$100,000 and/or up to seven years imprisonment.
