ABOUT US
Who We Are
Vista Immigration Consultancy was founded with a simple mission: to help individuals and families navigate the complexities of New Zealand immigration with ease. Starting as a small team with licensed immigration adviser, Vista quickly gained a reputation for delivering high-quality, personalised service at affordable rates. Reasonable fees and quality work – that is who we are!
At Vista, we see you as a dreamer who is on a mission towards your next overseas experience which might as well be in the best country in the world! Our mission is to help you accomplish your mission using our expertise in the New Zealand immigration setting. So whatever your plans in New Zealand are, we are here to help obtain the appropriate visa for you.
WE HAVE OUR OWN LICENSED IMMIGRATION ADVISER
Other education agents pass on their clients to third-party lawyers or advisers who prepare visa applications. This is NOT how we do it at Vista Immigration. When you become part of our Vista family, your immigration matters will be handled by our in-house immigration adviser. This means that we are not only providing you service for your current enrolment or visa application. When we submit applications on your behalf, we take into consideration all your future applications. We ensure that your current application will not have negative impacts on the subsequent visas that you will apply for. At Vista Immigration, we are with you from initial application through to New Zealand citizenship.
WE ARE BASED IN NEW ZEALAND
We know the New Zealand way of life by heart, because we live here! This means that we can support you more closely when you travel to New Zealand compared to off-shore agents. We can respond to your questions about New Zealand which requires practical answers that only local people would know. If you want to move to another country, it makes more sense to get assistance and advice from people who know your destination better so you can get more accurate information.
LIKE YOU, WE ARE IMMIGRANTS TOO
We understand what immigration is all about because we went through the whole process ourselves. We know the struggles of moving to another country and living in a community that we are not used to. We have the empathy for our fellow immigrants who are seeking opportunities outside their home country to provide a better future for the family. We do not treat our clients as 'just another visa applicant' but rather we advocate for them as we would for our own immigration aspirations.
WE ARE BILINGUAL
All our team members can write and speak at least two languages - Filipino and English. We can communicate with our clients whichever language they know or prefer. Being able to communicate both in Filipino and English allows us to break language barriers and to exchange information with our clients while ensuring nothing is lost in translation. We appreciate the positive difference it makes when clients explain their personal situation to us using their mother tongue or their preferred language. Excellent communication makes all the difference in achieving a positive outcome for the applicant.
WE ARE HIGHLY TRAINED TO DO THE JOB
We are fully-licensed to provide New Zealand immigration advice. Becoming a New Zealand licensed immigration adviser means we meet the high competency standards set by the New Zealand Immigration Advisers Authority. The Authority requires licensed advisers to gain an approved New Zealand qualification and undertake continuous professional development to ensure their immigration knowledge is up-to-date. The practice of licensed advisers are also monitored by the Authority to ensure professional services are provided to clients at all times.
WE HAVE A PROVEN TRACK RECORD
In the last two years, we have served over 500 clients who came from at least 30 countries across 6 continents and 99% of them were granted a visa. Everyday, we are working hard to reach and help more clients obtain a visa that is appropriate to their purpose of travelling to New Zealand. We work closely with our clients and ensure the preparation of their application is an enjoyable experience for them. This is demonstrated by the positive reviews that we get in the email and in our social media accounts.
