From NZD $595Read moreGenuine Intentions & Bona Fide Applicant Statement
Evidence-based statements addressing the bona fide applicant test and, on study applications, genuine student intentions.
About this service
What it is
Immigration New Zealand assesses whether an applicant is a bona fide applicant — whether they genuinely intend to do what they say and to comply with the conditions of the visa. On study applications the same question is asked as genuine student intentions. These statements are written from the applicant's own circumstances, in the first person, with supporting evidence referenced rather than summarised.
What the document contains
- First-person statement covering intentions, circumstances and ties
- Study and career rationale where the application is for study
- Financial and personal circumstances relevant to the assessment
- Response to any adverse or ambiguous history on the file
- Evidence schedule supporting each claim made
What the instructions require
- Written in the first person, from information the applicant provides
- Every claim tied to evidence that exists on the file
Summarised from Immigration New Zealand instructions current at publication. Instructions change — confirm the current position before relying on any figure.

Questions
What clients ask about this service
Why does this need writing?
Because it's assessed on whether it rings true. Generic statements read as generic, and a previous refusal or an odd study choice needs addressing head-on, not avoided.
Is it in my own words?
Yes — first person, from what you tell us. It should sound like you, not like a vendor.
I've been refused before. Should I mention it?
Yes, always. A declared refusal explained is far safer than one INZ finds.
