our little story

Jeanie, the founder of Jumpstart International, smiling as she poses in front of a snowy landscape in New Zealand.

Turning experience into expertise

“When I arrived in New Zealand as a student, I felt excited. That excitement quickly turned into stress. The agency I worked with instantly vanished once I landed. After paying the fees and arranging pickup, I stepped into a new country alone, without a plan, without even a working phone — standing in an unfamiliar airport with no family, friends or anyone waiting. 

That’s why we started Jumpstart International. It was built to change that experience. We don’t disappear once your flight lands. We’re there to guide you, and be a pillar of support you can rely on.”

What we strive to do

our mission

Jeanie - the founder of Jumpstart International, taking a selfie with two successful clients, happy that they are now in New Zealand.

We started Jumpstart International because we know how overwhelming the New Zealand immigration process can feel. As migrants ourselves, we wanted to build the kind of personal support we wish we had.

Our mission is simple: to make New Zealand visas straightforward, to treat every client with empathy, and to walk beside you from the first questions through to settling in. Unlike big agencies that feel cold and transactional, we believe moving to New Zealand deserves real human care.

Today, we help people from all over the world start a new life in New Zealand. Whether you are applying for a student visa to study, a work visa to grow your career, or a partnership visa to join loved ones, our mission remains the same — make the immigration process clear, give honest advice without jargon, and treat every client with genuine respect.

We know this journey is more than paperwork. That is why we go beyond forms and checklists. We calm your concerns, celebrate your wins both big and small, and share the practical insights we have learned through our own experience.

As one of our early clients, you will also receive special touches like welcome care packages and priority check-ins to make your move a little easier.

our values

Because we care

We believe moving to New Zealand deserves more than just paperwork. That’s why our values spell HOME—so you always feel like you’re heading somewhere you belong. Our values are the foundation guiding every visa application and conversation.
