If you're a student, migrant worker, citizen, or resident wanting to bring your partner to New Zealand, a relationship timeline is a crucial document that must be included in your partnership-based visa application. It provides valuable insights into your relationship with the case officer. If you are unsure of what to include in your relationship timeline, the article given below can tell you how to write a comprehensive relationship timeline and ensure its accuracy. If you need assistance with a Partnership-based Visa, simply provide us with your details here.
I have also written an article about the meaning of median wage and how it differs from minimum wage. If you are interested in applying for a work visa, then understanding the importance of median wage is essential, especially for the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) and Skilled Residence Pathways.
My article also enlightens readers on how an AEWV holder's income can influence their partner's working rights. Latest Update: The median wage is once again set to increase in February 2024!
My next piece is on Student Visa. Don't let a declined Student Visa application dampen your aspirations of studying in New Zealand! Remember, a setback is just a setup for a comeback. If you're a sincere student whose circumstances weren't accurately represented or supported by necessary documents, fear not. My team and I are here to assist you in navigating through the reapplication process. We aim to turn your dreams of obtaining an education in this wonderful nation into tangible reality!
Do not hesitate to experience the joy of studying in New Zealand with your loved ones by your side. Contact us to discover the benefits of bringing your partner and children along, including emotional support and potential work opportunities. However, keep in mind that the partner's work rights are subject to the student's course level.
On 1 September 2023, we held an event in Kathmandu, Nepal where representatives of various New Zealand institutes like PBRS, NZSEG, UP Education, ACMI, AIS St. Helens, and PIHMS interacted with students aspiring to study in New Zealand and provided them with information about courses and scholarships.

Master of Applied Management, Master of Artificial Intelligence, Master of Management (Supply Chain Management), Master of Professional Accounting, Master of Hotel Management, Master of Professional Accounting, Master of Business Administration, and Diploma in Management (Healthcare) are some of the popular courses amongst international students.
