Fantastic & professional team at Idesi legal. I have been struggling since 2017 getting my residence to stay in New Zealand for my little daughter. My daughter was born and raised so she’s automatically entitled to a Citizenship as for me being a single dad i was facing many problems with INZ with my residence let alone a work visa. I was sent multiple letters of my last dates in New Zealand that i would need to leave the country and go back to my birth country. But i kept fighting to remain in New Zealand with my daughter till i was on the point to giving up. I then stumbled across an advertisement on my facebook reels about Idesi and how they helped so many people whom were struggling the same way i was with INZ. I clicked on the advertisement and it brought me to to their page i read the review people has posted about their experience and also watched some of their video when their clients testified their experienced and brought gift as a token of appreciation at their office. I was captured by their experienced and knew this could be my chance of getting my residence as well. I did not hesitated and emailed them with my information and a bit about myself and the struggles i was dealing with INZ they then told me to come in their Johnsonville branch with all my documents i have and letters from INZ witch i did. Every since that day after my face to face meeting with them talking about myself and showing them everything i have been going through with all the replies INZ sent me, i felt a big relief on my shoulders knowing that they have took me on board and reassured me that everything will be okay and that they will work so hard to get me a Visa to remain in New Zealand. Till this day 6/8/25 i have received a surprising phone call from Mrs Kamil herself and told me my Residence Visa has been granted. Therefore i would like to give Kamil and her team at Idesi Legal for the reassurance and the hard work you and your dedicated team have done for me and my little daughter. It was a long time waiting but it was totally worth it. Those whom are struggling anything with INZ i 100% recommend Kamil and her professional team at Idesi legal for anything immigration related.

I’m so happy to share that I received my visa — one of the most important and emotional moments of my life. This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of the team at Idesi Legal. A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Kamil Lakshman, the principal lawyer, whose compassion and professionalism gave me peace of mind throughout the process. Her leadership made me feel that my case was truly in the best hands. Thank you also to David, Yashika, Julliet, and Ganesh. Your care, communication, and support made all the difference. I always felt well-informed and confident. Idesi Legal brings real experience, professionalism, and dedication to their work. They handled every step with precision and empathy. I’m forever grateful to them and highly recommend their services to anyone going through an immigration journey.

Idesi has guided me through the complexities of the process to apply for a Partnership Residence Visa. Since I first contacted them in earlier this year, I've appreciated the professional, friendly and prompt service, and it's been great to know that someone with detailed local knowledge and experience has been liaising with Immigration New Zealand on my behalf. Last week, I was delighted to receive a call from the principal lawyer at Idesi congratulating me on the award of my Residence Visa. I am grateful to Idesi for their able assistance through this essential first step in our adventure to move to Aotearoa.
