Sponsor u for what exactly?

iwanvisityankee:
@femijck; from this link https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/tools-and-information/general-information/acceptable-sponsors it says an individual NZ citizen can sponsor someone; Does it mean that a friend of mine over there can sponsor me? Thanks

femijck:
Sponsor u for what exactly?

for resident visa

No, on what ground would u qualify for a resident visa.......your friend can only sponsor his immediate family like his spouse or kids.....apart from his spouse and dependent kids, no other person can’t get a resident visa through him.
For the spouse to qualify, they don’t even have to be married, but must have been living together for a minimum of 12 months with solid evidence of partnership and public recognition of them as couple

iwanvisityankee:
for resident visa

he can also sponsor a close relative like siblings for visit visa and if they meet the requirements of a bonafide visitor. And have a very genuine reason to wanna visit. Still that doesn’t guarantee d visa

Thanks bro; I do appreciate your quick & detailed response

femijck:
People who have applied online should contribute please. When I did mine,it was a paper application so I sent everything to Pretoria including my port via FedEx express and also UPS at some point.... If your port was not requested for in the email, I don’t think you have to. when ur application is approved,and they need to see ur pp, it might show “approved in principle” and then they will request for the real pp and any other documents before issuing d visa.
I haven’t done any online application before as I prefer to send all hard copy of my documents. And I’m wondering, if the Pretoria office is still open. According to the local news I read, I thought it’s been closed.

p.s if your pp is needed, you will be notify and be given a deadline. I believe that’s how it works.
Cheers

Till now, they don't have VAC like AU? I'm asking.

Also, since they don't stamp port, why request for it physically, after seeing the data pages?

Our conference holds

Cordis, Auckland
83 Symonds St, Grafton, Auckland 1010, New Zealand

They have VAC all around the world but decided to shut down most of them last year due to staff exploitation and maltreatment in some of the VACs. Also the fact that they see your data page doesn’t mean it’s a legitimate port. They have the right to request for the real port if they have concerns or needs to . If you are onshore, it might be different because you can take a copy for certification by a Justice of Peace available at most Citizen’s advice bureau.

Let me breakdown.
SAA with 44 hours plus journey means I'll travel on Thursday 5/9/2019 and arrive Auckland 8/9/19. Cost is $2,300
Egypt Air 34 hours $2,300
Emirates is LOS DXB AKL total 29 hours $3400

I chose emirates cos of shorter travel hours.

I booked an aparthotel to cook for myself. Would go with ewedu, ata gigun, garri then get some pepper at the super market to cook for myself in my room for 5 days, as we would be offered 3 course meal at the conference from 9-11 September, hence I've to cook for just few days. That's why I budgeted N100,000 (NZL $400)
I know drinks are quite expensive. Saw a coke in the hotel I booked for $3(N750). Same pet bottle coke goes for N100 in Nigeria.

Why is NZL that expensive?

ok I gat that now..... bros u no try o...... so u can’t do without Naija food for one week...Lol

I haven’t taste Naija food since I moved here....

u can buy a whole box of the coke and keep in ur fridge. Might only cost around $10 and will save u heaps. Always buy ur stuff in bulk from big stores.

For instance a Box of 15 bottles of Heineken cost me $30 at west liquor yesterday but each bottle will cost me around 7-8$ each at the pub.

NZL is expensive, may be because it’s the second safest country in the world I don’t have any idea

Guess what I've just found

Thanks to everyone who has contributed here. I have read all through the pages. But have few questions. I would love to migrate to NZ. I discovered the easiest way is through education. I am a graduate (HND) in Elect/elect; with 7 years working experience. But I would on mind starting afresh if that's the only solution. But I am considering the vocational studies. My question is this!!! Do I need IELTS to be considered for this?

Happy new year

firstly, which city are u looking to come to. I need to know this as accomodation and job differs.

About getting a job while on a visit visa , it’s not impossible as I believe not everybody in NZ have the right visa to be here or work legally... but u have to sort that out yourself...... but if u are very lucky to get a company that can sponsor u on an essential work visa. Which means ur visa depends on d job. And u can only work with that company.

Have in mind, that no agency will sponsor u. So it has to be directly with the company.... which is not impossible but might be difficult.... but everything is networking.

But I will advise u to rather come on a student visa, as this will allow u to work 20hrs a week and also give u a couple of post study work visa and u can go from there.
Visit or tourist visa is d worst anybody can travel with if u looking to settle down. Except u have someone on ground to help u

Hello, there. Compliments of the season! I just found this thread today. i have gone thorough it, and I like what I see. Please, I am considering moving to New Zealand. I'll need you to put me through some steps. I sent a mail, and would appreciate your help. Thanks, and God bless us all!

I applied thru an agent and the package states that they will get us a farm job plus feeding and accommodation.
The agent said an invitation letter will be send by the company for the processing of the visa .later he said the type of visa he will do for us is visiting and that after 3 months the company will process our work permit.

I will forward the letter sent by NZ immigration later .

This is the letter I received from the NZ immigration thru the agent
