Meet Tatiana Elvery, leading Aspiring Immigration
Your Wanaka local New Zealand Licensed Immigration Adviser with a strategic approach
Immigration Advisers Authority Licence 202101015
Based in Wanaka, New Zealand, I am originally from France and I represent clients for all visa types including individuals, families, and employers.
With a background in Human Resources, Finance and Business Management, and as a migrant myself, I take a results-driven approach to visa applications and compliance, including for clients interested in investment and entrepreneur pathways.
My prior experience as an employer handling visa processes gives me a unique view from both migrant and employer perspectives, enabling me to offer practical and cost effective solutions.
My services encompass assistance with all visa categories such as work, visitor, student, and residence, along with complex issues like section 61 requests, character or medical waivers, exception to instructions and ministerial discretion, and employer compliance matters, accreditation, job check and other seasonal applications.
A Unique Combination of Immigration, Human Resources & Finance Expertise
Unlike many advisers, I offer a multidisciplinary approach to immigration advice, blending expertise in:
New Zealand Immigration Law & Policy – legally authorized by the Immigration Advisers Authority to advise and represent clients in all visa and employer immigration applications, advising on eligibility, and assisting in complicated matters.
Human Resources & Employer Compliance – Understand how businesses support migrant workers and ensure visa applications conform to INZ standards and immigration processes are run efficiently, in a cost effective and ethical manner.
Finance & Business Strategy – Knowledgeable in finance management, and partnering with legal firms, tax and financial advisers, making me a great choice for entrepreneurs and investors.
This combination of skills allows me to create strategies that align with your long-term goals, whether you’re a visitor, a student, skilled professional, business owner, or individual or family looking to start anew in New Zealand.
I am dedicated to helping clients meet their immigration goals and assisting employers in building diverse teams.
