Frequently asked questions

Do I need an immigration lawyer in Invercargill, or can a licensed adviser help?

Both can represent you to Immigration New Zealand and at the Immigration and Protection Tribunal. You need a lawyer if your matter may go to court, or if it crosses into other areas of law such as employment or criminal matters affecting character. There are 7 licensed immigration advisers based in Invercargill as an alternative.

Why are immigration lawyers not on the IAA register?

Lawyers with a current New Zealand practising certificate are exempt from immigration adviser licensing, so they do not appear on the register. Verify any lawyer on the New Zealand Law Society's register of lawyers instead.

Can an immigration lawyer outside Invercargill act for me?

Yes. Immigration work is routinely done remotely; your lawyer files applications and corresponds with Immigration New Zealand online. Choose on immigration experience first and location second.
