The New Zealand government has regulated the immigration and study abroad industry.

From May 4, 2009, New Zealand began to implement this law. The law stipulates that New Zealand immigration consultants, whether in New Zealand or not, must obtain a license issued by the Immigration Advisors Authority (TheImmigration Advisors Authority) in order to provide relevant services to customers.
