Back from being away.... sorry for that.
This month quite some changes in the Immigration instruction;
No so much to talk about other than that I had a great holiday with my spouse in Pahia with friends, visiting some vinyards (I happen to love the Ake Ake rose wine, extremely nice and with an excellent "summery" taste), drinking lots of coffee in Russell, lots of jet skiing on my Sea Doo, and more importantly, having some golf games at local golf courses!
Last week a detailed report was released where New Zealand is ranked No 5 in the world in Prosperity.
Some of the top findings are;
Immigration have done it again; without any prior warning they closed the LTBV category! Possible candidates to start and operate a business have been told to wait till March 2014 when a new policy will be made public! Between "Sorry, we are closed for business" and "Welcome to New Zealand" those possible candidates may have found another destination!
The first reaction from the market is that people are really peefed-off, and I suggest that Immigration could have handled this closure of the LTBV and the opening of a new category much better and thus retain possible good business people for New Zealand.
Wishing you all a great Christmas and a happy New Year!
Thanks for your support and trust in me and my team this last year, I really appreciate that, it's more worth than any amount of money!!!
Looking at my diary on my computer, I suddenly realise that it is already October 2013, nearly Christmas! Time really flies when you are having fun!
The months of August and September have both been poor months from a personal prespective. My mother passed away in Holland early August, and i had my second operation (first one in April this year) in the latter part of September, and I am scheduled for a third operation in November this year. Luckily, no serious ones, just small one-hour operations.
The year 2013 does honor to its number, a ANNUS HORRIBILIS, a Latin expression to describe this "horrible year"!
Despite the difficult times, we have had some great results and excellent decisions coming through, thanks to you and the team!
See you next time ...

The quality of decisions from INZ appear to decrease! Please refer to the Annual Report from the IPT for 2017 where on average 33% of Appeals with the IPT is allowed! A news paper article in 1 NEWS NOW dated 21/02/2019 confirms that four out of every ten appeals against INZ are upheld! That is an increase from 33% to now 40% of appeals being allowed or upheld against INZ!
