Why should I get a Licensed Immigration Adviser (LIA)?

New Zealand aims to protect travelers, visa applicants, and migrants so it requires people providing immigration advice to be either licensed by the Immigration Adviser’s Authority (IAA) or exempt.

We strongly recommend that you look for an LIA if you need help with your visa situation. These are just a few of the most compelling reasons to get an experienced LIA to represent you:

LIA Qualified

LIAs are qualified for the job - they need to study and/or have significant experience to be granted a license. More information about our in-house LIA is available here.

LIA Professional

You’ll be treated professionally – LIAs need to abide by a Code of Conduct and fulfil their professional obligations to you in order to keep their license.

LIA liable for misconduct

LIAs are liable for misconduct – they are regulated by the Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA). If you feel that your LIA has acted unprofessionally or unethically, you can complain to the IAA. Upheld complaints can result in sanctions like payment of penalties, client refunds, and the cancellation of the LIA’s license.

LIA liable for misconduct

LIA fees are fair and reasonable – they are prohibited from charging unjustified and overinflated fees. You can also expect them to invoice you appropriately, provide receipts for your payments and explain the breakdown of any fees they charge you.

LIA liable for misconduct

You’ll have easy access to your records – LIAs are required to retain your file for several years after your visa has been processed. You can request for a copy of documents submitted with your previous application (eg transcript of records, employment certificate) if you need it for a new visa or job application for example.

You should also know that taking illegal advice can be risky. Persons providing immigration advice illegally may disadvantage you in a number of ways. For more information on the risks, you may visit the IAA’s website.
