Border Exemption For Dairy Farm Staff
The Government has decided to grant border exceptions for 200 dairy farm workers and their families, comprising of 150 Herd Managers or Assistant Farm Managers and 50 Farm Assistants (for critical need areas only).
- It is likely to take at least 3 months from when the first application is made to DairyNZ before the migrant worker is available to work on the farm.
- There are both employer and employee eligibility criteria to be fulfilled.
- A prioritisation criterion will be applied if the demand exceeds 200 workers.
The application and approval will be handled by DairyNZ and MPI. The visa processes will be handled by Immigration NZ (INZ).

Director
Vandana is herself a migrant and has a rare set of skill match, which could be considered ideal for a Licensed Immigration Adviser. She was a school counsellor from 1996 to 2006, a role in which she was a natural fit due to her nurturing and caring personality. Her earnest journey as a fully Licensed Immigration Adviser for New Zealand began in 2014, and she considers herself blessed to have the background and the skills that allow her, as an Immigration adviser, to effortlessly visualise herself in her client’s situation, understand their needs and problems, and use her knowledge, experience, and expertise to help find a solution for it.
She is currently on the Board of New Zealand Association of Migration and Investment (NZAMI) and was part of the Immigration Advisers Authority(IAA) referral group for 2016.
