Ticha:
Happy to help if I can. I did read up on the visa this year as my brither was considering it but he went off to the UK instead

Oh.....really!

Thanks so much for agreeing to help.

I have sent a PM.

femijck:
That category of visa is quite new to me..... but for a short visit, you only need a general visitor visa..... I’m keen to give any useful info I have on the visitor visa. Also u should follow @davodguy advice about reading through the thread.

Peace

Thanks for the prompt response and for agreeing to help.

Yes the visa is quite new and highly exclusive.There are just 400 slots for 4 years as a pilot, starting from 2017.After that it will be reevaluated to know if an extension will be given,if not it will be jettisoned so I am doing all I can to get in , in this first phase.

I will send you a pm with my email right away .I just want to bounce off ideas of my plans not just for the short trip but for eventually the long haul and get your insight on if they fit since you are on ground and might know what works best .

I am also following @davodguy advice.

SAT123:
I am available to help in my little way with as much information that I have,most I learnt on this thread and carefully going through the NZ immigration website which is very explicit and full of a lot of information.

I am also going through the thread as well as website to get as much info.

PS
Tried sending a PM but was told I had already sent too many anonymous messages so will try again tomorrow.

davodyguy:
Take your time to study this thread on visit Visa.

Follow the exchanges between Myself, Ugsam and Femijck, see how they advised me and how our visas were obtained in July and August, 2019.

I'm in Paris now, having being in Istanbul few days ago.

I read carefully the France thread and did exchanges on the thread with people who applied same way.

So, I'll advice you read this thread from June to December, 2019

Thanks for the prompt response Boss. I have read through the thread and your discussions in particular, infact copied out portions of it on word document so that I can always go back to the information contained therein. However since this particular fellowship pathway isn't that common and is relatively new (in pilot stage) I still need to bounce off ideas on people who have been on the ground especially when the purpose of the visit visa is to feed in into the Global Impact Visa.If you get back from your trip and you are chanced a bit,please let me know.Do have a splendid holiday in Paris!

Hello everyone.

Compliments of the season.

Thanks to everyone who has made this thread active especially to folks like@femijck
@ugsams who have selflessly poured out their knowledge to help others.

I applied for the Edmund Hilllary Fellwowship programme (www.ehf.org) which brings impact makers from around the world to New Zealand to lead change from the country. Fellows are granted the exclusive Global impact Visa (GIV) which is a three year open work visa that leads to permanent residence status. Unfortunately after going through the rigorous multi layered selection stages and getting to the finals my candidacy wasn’t successful at this time. However I was advised that in order to strengthen my candidacy that i will need to make a short visit trip first to New Zealand in order to better understudy how things work in that terrain .So I am at the point of planning that trip now and would want to seek out your advice which is a bit confidential and cannot be shared here .

So please @femijck @ugsams @Ticha @SAT123 @davodyguy . Can I pm you and if possible also do email exchanges .

Thanks for your continued support and God bless.
