FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about New Zealand visas, immigration, slot booking, documentation, and consultation services.

For a visitor visa, you typically need to show sufficient funds to cover your stay (or a host's undertaking). For a student visa, Immigration New Zealand requires proof of funds to cover tuition plus living costs for the duration of your course. Exact amounts vary by visa type and length of stay, and our team helps you calculate and document this correctly.
Yes, most applicants are required to submit biometric information (photograph and fingerprints) as part of their New Zealand visa application. This is usually done at a designated visa application centre. GENX helps schedule your biometric appointment as part of the overall application process.
Most New Zealand institutions require proof of English language proficiency through IELTS, PTE, or an equivalent test, though some accept alternative evidence such as prior education in English. Requirements vary by institute and course level, and our team helps you confirm what's needed for your specific program.
Yes, but New Zealand has strict biosecurity rules for importing pets, including vaccination records, health certificates, and in some cases quarantine on arrival. Requirements differ by country of origin and animal type, so it's best to start the process well in advance of your move.
A standard New Zealand visitor visa typically allows a stay of up to 9 months within an 18-month period, though the exact duration depends on your nationality and the purpose of your visit. Some visitor visas may be issued for multiple entries over a longer validity.
