Hi! My husband and I are considering migrating to New Zealand in the next couple of years. Is there anyone out there who can give me some advice re: procedures etc.
Should we hire a migration agent? Recommendations?
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

My friend in Wellington compares them to used car salesmen.

Just fill in the forms and DIY.

Hi
Forget the agents - most of them are ripoff artists. It's not that hard. I could help you if you want; I've lived here for 20 years
Cheers

that you check out the emigration org forum? this site will not let me post the address but if you search on nz+emigration forum you will probably find it.
It is full of great information for anyone planning to immigrate to NZ. I would definitely concur that it is a complete waste of money to hire an immigration agent. you still have to do all the work, collect all your medical, police, work, marriage documents etc and fill in all the information. if you have any questions or get stuck that forum has hundreds of people who have successful nagivated the process. Also the NZ immigration website is very straightforward.
I managed to get through the process and if I can anyone can. !
good luck
