Hi Stan,

Choosing an agent can be a risky business. There is no way of gauging level of service by price. Some of the reputable agencies charge anywhere between NZ$6000 to NZ$10000, which as you will agree, is a lot of money!

If you are feeling a little brave, and fancy going it alone, in approximately 2 weeks time this site will be launching the D-I-Y immigration service. Although it is do it yourself, you wont strictly be on your own as you will be helped all the way, just without the massive fees of an agent! There is a small charge for this (which hasnt been set yet, but will probably be in the region of ?50 / US$99), but it comes with a money back guarantee if you are not happy with the information provided (a REAL money back guarantee!! One where you actually get it ALL back!). We dont like charging for these things, but its costly to run so we have to.

All the best
