Australia visa New Zealand visa processing. Noel Hewitt Associates LLC at www.noelhewitt.com specializes in obtaining the skill visa, partner visa, spouse visa, business visa and the retirement visa for clients principally in the U.S. and Canada. The company however does process applications form other countries. The processes we use involve an analysis of information provided from a questionnaire completed on line on the internet. From this information a list of visa options are provided, approximate costs of the process and possible the length of time to process the application.
Costs, if Noel Hewitt Associates LLC gives a positive assessment are approximately $USD1,000 for the skill visa and partner/spouse visas. These costs do vary and are an average only. These costs do not include the other costs outside Noel Hewitt Associates work such as medical fees, government visa fees etc. The listed costs are only for the work we do in the visa process.
The process of obtaining a visa to these two countries can be a complex process. The complexity of the process depends largely on the type of visa being applied for and the evidence you have in support of your application. For instance, short term tourists who are passport holders from certain countries (if there is no adverse record against their name) have free entry to New Zealand and are granted a visa when they arrive at the New Zealand airport. The list of countries who are able to obtain this free entry can be obtained from Noel Hewitt Associates LLC.
Australia has a different system. If a potential tourist holds an acceptable passport and has no adverse immigration alert against their name, may apply over the internet at www.immi.gov.au for a Electronic Tourist visa.
However, applicants for spouse visa, partner visa, skill visas and business visas have to go through a rather long and at times complex process of collecting appropriate evidence and submitting documents in support of their application. Some people feel confident in doing the process themselves, others reply n the expertise of trained and experienced migration agents. Noel Hewitt Associates LLC is one company who has this training and experience.
In general – business visa applicants must have an employment background, be that background of success at a senior executive level in a company, or have prior successful business ownership in order to be eligible for a business visa. They then have to submit business proposals and get approval from both the government immigration authorities and the local area they wish to set up their business.
The skill visa requires an academic background and experience in the chosen occupation. The governments of New Zealand and Australia are discerning about which occupations they want and require the academic training and employment history to meet their standards. For New Zealand, but not as important for Australia, the candidate must have an employment offer (there are exceptions here).
The spouse visa and the partner visa both rely on a sponsor being a permanent resident or citizen of the country they intend to move to. Evidence of co habitation and possibly witness statements are also required to back up the application.
For both Australia and New Zealand, candidates must meet health requirements and character clearances prior to any visa being granted. Both are causes for thousands of cancellation and deportations each year.
