IMMagine Immigration: A Team Of New Zealand Immigration Professionals helping you all the way:

IMMagine New Zealand Immigration are a team of immigration professionals (Immigration Attorneys) with our Head Office in Auckland, New Zealand. We do not have any immigration consultancies or law firms acting as agents.

We have been in the immigration assistance business for almost two decades and in that time we have helped many thousands of migrants become New Zealanders.

According to the most recent New Zealand Immigration Service figures our residence success rate at around 99% is second to none.

IMMagine New Zealand was formed on 1 January 2009 along with its sister company IMMagine Australia Immigration. The concept grew out of a belief that our highly personalised and successful model in New Zealand could be set up in other countries. Funnily enough some people want to go and live in Australia and we have decided to assist them. The structure of the two companies is a little like KPMG where we operate under the same ownership but operate separate businesses. If you want advice on New Zealand come to us. If you want advice on migrating to Australia then our Australian partners who actually live there are better able to advise you rules, regulations, processes and living there. We can either refer you to them or you can email them at info@immagine-immigration.com .

The three Directors of both companies have assisted more than 20,000 people make New Zealand or Australia their new home.
