New Zealand Migration Services

The company was established in April 1993, 28 years ago, in Cape Town as ‘Forman Hendrikse Emigration Services’, specializing in migration to New Zealand.  It remains one of the few companies whose focus is entirely on this country. 

Sharon Yerman, is a founding member and Company Director.  

The company focus is on residence, investor and entrepreneur visa applications as well as the compilation and submission of major appeals when required.  These appeals include in depth medical and character waiver issues.

The Company licenced adviser is Sanjeev Singh.   He is very highly experienced and is held in high esteem within the profession.  These years of expertise are invaluable in dealing with INZ and assisting with complex matters when they arise.

During  his time in this profession,  he has already achieved a few accolades to be proud of, namely :

  • First offshore-based adviser from South Africa to be selected for the Immigration Advisors Authority’s (IAA) Reference Group for the 2014 year (during this year, he was the ONLY offshore-based Licensed Immigration Adviser selected from around the world to serve on the Reference Group)
  • Sanj also served on the IAA’s Steering Committee (as one of a handful of Advisers) advising on the new changes to the qualification that all potential immigration advisers must obtain. He was the only adviser on the Committee who is based outside of New Zealand.

In addition to his Graduate Certificate of New Zealand Immigration Advice, Sanj also holds both a B.A. Degree and an Honours Degree (Industrial Psychology) acquired through the University of South Africa. Sanj excels in customer service.

Forman Hendrikse Emigration Services Becomes New Zealand Migration Services

In line with the change in the “Trading as” legislation in South Africa, we decided to change our company name and use one that clearly indicates our business focus.  The former name “Forman Hendrikse Emigration Services” did not do this.

The name “New Zealand Migration Services” does just that.  The company prides itself at being the most focused New Zealand migration company in South Africa by specializing for twenty-eight years on that one destination.

The New Zealand government has announced further border restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.  These new measures are expected to help the health system to be more prepared in the coming months, by having fewer people infected and slow the spread of disease out over a longer period of time.  They are working at keeping the virus out through restrictions on people.

By enforcing certain restrictions, New Zealand supermarket shelves will remain well stocked and medicines and other essential supplies will still be available.

FROM SUNDAY 15th MARCH 2020 AT 23:59 ALL TRAVELLERS COMING FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD, EXCEPT PARTS OF THE PACIFIC, INCLUDING CHINA, IRAN AND SOUTH AFRICA, WILL BE EXPECTED TO SELF-ISOLATE FOR 14 DAYS ON ARRIVAL IN NEW ZEALAND

 

Immigration confirms that these announcements will likely have a big impact on our sector, but they will continue to work with us and provide us with regular updated immigration information.

 Severe disruptions are being experienced, but everyone is working as best they can under the circumstances.  The government has been planning for such disruption and will revert once they have a better idea of just what the impact might be for our sector, from an immigration perspective.

 Things are moving very rapidly at the moment, but we will be kept as informed as possible.

 I will update this notice as soon as more information becomes available, including any changes.
