INZ “Apply on Behalf” almost here…
Immigration New Zealand’s “Apply on Behalf” service is on track to go live in mid-June.
The new service will allow overseas-based education agents to submit visa applications online on behalf of their clients.
Education agents based in New Zealand, as well as education providers, will be able to help students complete and submit an online application, but they are prohibited by law from providing immigration advice.
…and eVisas coming soon
Later this year, eVisas – passport-free and label-less visas – will be available to students from visa-waiver countries (these are countries whose citizens do not need a visa to travel to New Zealand).
Also later in 2015, education providers will be able to view their students’ visa status through Immigration New Zealand’s VisaView service.
We will have more detail on all this in upcoming eNews.
