Regardless of the visa you are applying for, you’ll need to meet health and character requirements. Sometimes, waivers will allow you be granted the visa despite any complications – our lawyers can show you how.

Health

All visa applicants must meet the acceptable standard of health requirements of Immigration New Zealand. Health waivers may be possible. This can also include the special educational needs of children in school and HIV status. There are different ways to approach this assessment depending on the type of visa applied for. It requires a knowledge how the health system operates and the funding available as well as an understanding of the immigration laws.

Character

All visa applicants must meet the character requirements of Immigration New Zealand. These include instance of criminal offending, fraud, provision of false or misleading information, previous deportations/removal, exclusions from other countries. Each of these requires a thorough and nuanced consideration of the circumstance as well as an understanding of the way the immigrations laws operate in New Zealand. We can assist with putting forward the best case for a character waiver.

Everything was very transparent. We only contacted him over the phone and emails. He got the residents visa approval in the first go. It didn't get rejected or had to appeal like other lawyers said. Stewart knows exactly what he does. He doesn't panic. He a real expert. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to have their visas done peacefully at reasonable fees. Thank you Stewart and D&S Law team. You guys rock
