🇳🇿 IMPORTANT IMMIGRATION UPDATE – WORK VISA APPLICANTS!

📢 Immigration New Zealand has issued new guidance on assessing work visa applications.

On 30 October 2026, Immigration New Zealand released Visa Pak 696, reminding immigration officers to carefully assess whether applicants are genuine (bona fide).

✅ What does this mean for you?

Having a genuine job offer and the required skills may not be enough. Immigration officers may also consider:

🔹 Your previous immigration history, including visa refusals.

🔹 Your family, employment and property ties to your home country.

🔹 Your future plans in New Zealand.

🔹 Whether you have a realistic pathway to residence.

🔹 Whether you are willing and able to leave New Zealand if you cannot obtain another visa.

⚠️ IMPORTANT FOR APPLICANTS APPLYING FROM OVERSEAS

Immigration New Zealand may decline an application based on certain bona fide concerns without first requesting further information or an explanation.

This makes it especially important to provide accurate information and address potential concerns when submitting your application.

💚 HOW CAN TDA IMMIGRATION HELP?

At TDA Immigration & Student Services, we understand how important your visa application is.

With over 28 years of experience in immigration services, our team can help you understand the requirements, assess potential concerns and prepare your application carefully.

🎉 A BIG WIN FOR TDA IMMIGRATION! 🎉

🇳🇿 A second chance for a family's New Zealand residence journey!

At TDA Immigration & Student Services, we believe that every case deserves to be heard, especially when exceptional circumstances are involved.

We recently represented a family whose Parent Resident Visa application was returned by Immigration New Zealand because it arrived six days after the deadline.

The application had been sent by overnight courier on the final day, but an unexpected delivery delay meant the family lost their opportunity to apply.

With serious family circumstances adding to an already difficult situation, we knew this case deserved further consideration.

💪 We didn't give up!

Our team prepared a detailed request for ministerial intervention, setting out the circumstances, supporting evidence and reasons why the family deserved another opportunity.

✅ THE RESULT — SUCCESS!

We are delighted to share that a delegated decision-maker, acting on behalf of the Associate Minister of Immigration, has granted a Special Direction allowing the family a fresh opportunity to apply for residence under the Parent Category!

This is not yet residence approval, but it is an important victory that gives the family another chance to continue their journey towards living together in New Zealand.

❤️ For TDA Immigration, this is what our work is about — standing up for our clients, exploring every lawful option and making sure their circumstances are properly heard.

Sometimes a setback is not the end of the road.

A huge congratulations to the family. We are honoured to have helped achieve this outcome.

Employer Accreditation Approved — The Next Day After Our Response by our advisor Hong D**g (Daisy)

A great result for one of our employer clients.
Immigration New Zealand raised a number of concerns with the Employer Accreditation application, including the financial viability of the business, supporting financial evidence, and compliance with employer obligations. INZ advised that the application was unlikely to be approved unless those concerns were resolved.
Our team carefully reviewed the concerns, prepared a detailed response, and organised the supporting evidence to address the issues raised.
We submitted the response — and the very next day the Employer Accreditation was APPROVED.
This is a good reminder that receiving a Request for Further Information or concerns from Immigration New Zealand does not automatically mean the application is over. A clear, well-prepared response supported by the right evidence can make a significant difference.
At TDA Immigration & Student Services, we take the time to understand the concerns raised, identify the evidence required, and present the response clearly to Immigration New Zealand.
Another excellent outcome for our client. 🙌
