ProVisas Advisory Fees: Onshore Clients
Published advisory fee ranges for onshore (NZ-based) clients across every visa category and immigration-issue service. All fees are NZD plus GST and.
ProVisas publishes advisory fees for every visa category and immigration-issue service. All fees below are NZD, exclusive of GST, and indicative (the final fee is confirmed in writing in your engagement letter before any work begins). Complex cases involving health, character, or multiple applications may fall outside these ranges.
Who these fees apply to
The fees below apply to onshore clients (applicants who are resident or physically present in New Zealand when we start work on their case). Onshore engagements typically allow in-person consultations at our Manukau or Papakura offices and streamlined document collection.
Offshore clients (applicants located overseas, including the Cambodian community we work with through our Khmer-speaking team): please request a tailored quote. Offshore advisory engagements involve additional document collection, translation, in-country liaison, and case management coordination across time zones, which is reflected in the engagement-specific fee. Contact us via WhatsApp or our book consultation page.
Pricing principle
Professional advisory fees are separate from INZ government fees and any third-party costs (medical examinations, police certificates, translations, courier fees). All expected external costs are explained upfront so there are no surprises.
