    Default Help....Need advice!

    Morning,
    I hope I have posted in the correct forum.
    My brother who is irish is currently living in NZ on a work visa which I think is due to expire next year.
    He has asked for help with financing a further visa and needs to pay for the immigration medical, fee for xrays and immigration officer time.
    Has anyone got any idea of costs for all these? I really dont understand it as I've never looked into immigration and as much as I love my brother I need to check figures myself.
    Many thanks in advance

    He may also need a police check from Ireland - not sure of cost - it's £45 in the UK.

    I am sure Full Immigration medical including X-ray is more than NZ$250 (I am sure of South island) Doctors charge over NZ$150, x-ray is about $NZ 100 and you still need to pay for your blood test.

    Sorry if am playing a spoiler here. No applicant pays for immigration officer time unless you mean the application fees. You are only expected to provide immigration medical once in three years, unless it is requested specially by the case officer. Has he been on work visa for the last 36 month?

    there's the visa application fee of NZ$270 for a work visa. I think your probably looking at NZ350 for the full medical, which includes medical, xray and lab tests. More if there are further or repeat test to follow. That's probably 1/2 to a 1/3 of what you'd be paying in the UK?

    Are you sure he is trying to extend a visa as opposed to applying for Residence (which is significantly more expensive!)?
