Customer Testimonials

Since 2022, we have faced numerous challenges in our journey to secure a place in New Zealand, including constant changes to visas and regulations. However, we are now one step closer to obtaining our residence. An extension was crucial for our youngest child to start school and to gain more points toward residency in 2025.

Muhammed has been fantastic and has managed our expectations well. We ended 2024 with a sense of relief after our extension was approved just before Christmas. Our next goal is to secure our residence, hopefully by 2025. We are already planning our next steps with Pier Law and are confident that we will achieve residential status soon.
