The recently published ‘Destination New Zealand’ research survey has revealed that a greater number of people are using migration agents in order to maximise their chances of gaining the right to live and work in the country as quickly and easily as possible.

According to the survey, which looks at various migration issues including demographics, family factors, motivations and the immigration process, 47.1 per cent of people used a registered migration agent to migrate to New Zealand in the last year.

The majority of respondents indicated that the most difficult part of the migration process was the waiting, thus giving substantial weight to the argument for employing a registered migration agent, who would be able to assist with quicker application processing as well as avoiding hindrances, delays and back-tracking by presenting an application which is 100 per cent accurate.

The second most commonly-cited difficulty in terms of New Zealand immigration was the paperwork, which, again, is something which is taken care of entirely by any potential migrant who hires a migration agent.
