Authorised Agent

AIIT recognises the importance of Agents/Education Consultants. Agents/Education Consultants offer valuable local representation, and can maintain a constant presence within your country and even in New Zealand. AIIT is selective and works with Agents/Education Consultants who are pro-active towards the promotion of New Zealand education and provide a comprehensive service. Our Agents play a pivotal role in providing you with relevant program options and aiding in your decision making. Agents are required to be well informed about, and understand New Zealand’s education system, our programs and entry requirements to help you choose the right program. This gives you an advantage in being best prepared for a successful enrolment application.

Only a licensed immigration adviser or a person who is exempt from licensing can give advice on New Zealand immigration matters. This applies whether the advice is direct or indirect, and whether or not the advice is paid for.

New Zealand immigration matters can include:

  • Choosing the right visa

  • Completing a visa application

  • Settling into New Zealand life

  • Assessing whether or not it’s worthwhile appealing a decision to decline a visa application

  • Assessing the options for people who are in New Zealand unlawfully

Some of our Authorised Agents are official Licensed Immigration Advisers (LIAs), meaning they are licensed by the Immigration Adviser’s Authority (IAA) to provide specialist immigration knowledge.  The IAA keeps a register of LIAs, and you can use this to find a licensed immigration adviser. If an adviser doesn’t appear on the register, then they are unlicensed and should not be providing you with immigration advice.
