The Immigration Advisers Authority was set up to p rotect people receiving New Zealand Immigration Advice. The Authority was established under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007.
Under this Act anyone giving immigration advice must have a licence unless they are exempt . The Act states that “No immigration application or request put forward on behalf of another person by an unlicensed immigration adviser may be accepted, unless the adviser is exempt from the requirement to be licensed under Section 11″.
According to Immigration New Zealand ” If you lodge an application with INZ and you are using an unlicensed adviser, or someone not exempt from licensing, we will refuse to accept your application.”
