Immigration support for individuals, families and investors

Clear answers, real support, and the best chance of getting your visa approved

The immigration process can feel overwhelming regardless of whether you're coming to New Zealand for work, love, or family or you're already here and want to stay.

There’s pressure to get everything right, but not a lot of help in how to do it.

I help individuals and families apply for the right visa, in the right way, with everything properly prepared, so your application is strong, complete, and gives you the best possible chance of success.

  • “Back in early 2019 we were offered the opportunity to live in New Zealand if we could obtain the relevant visas.  This was not going to be easy as our application was not straight forward due to current circumstances and challenging aspects.  This is when we made the best decision of our lives. We chose clockwork visa services to act as our immigration advisor. Here began our relationship with Cherie Baird.  Everything was meticulously Planned, the process explained to us in advance, every step of the way Cherie’s  preparation and attention to detail was so impressive. We could email or call her anytime if we had any concerns or just needed a chat about our applications and how things were progressing. Cherie offers encouragement and solutions even when things seemed tough.    To sum up all Cherie’s  talents is quite difficult, but I could start with- an outstanding expert and professional, compassionate, knowledgable, dedicated, highly qualified and a wonderful person.  We started our journey with working visas and now we sit with residents visas. 

    We are eternally grateful and would not be here today without you. “

  • "Cheri is knowledgeable, responsive, friendly, kind,  and goes the extra mile to understand your personal circumstance.  Cheri always has golden nuggets of guidance and advice that I would not have considered without speaking to Cheri. This, together with Cheri's wide and very well connected Immigration network, makes Cheri a go-to Immigration Adviser."

Visa decisions affect your future

Applying for a visa isn’t just paperwork. It’s a big life decision, with strict rules and potentially long wait times. If something’s wrong or missing, your whole plan can fall apart.

Here are just a few real-life situations I help people with:

  • Your employer is ready to move, but you’re stuck trying to figure out what Immigration New Zealand needs from you.

    Do you need a police certificate or a medical? What’s the minimum skills threshold? Are you even eligible for the token? What paperwork needs to be submitted and when?

    I’ll guide you through it step by step. From understanding the requirements to preparing a strong, accurate application, I’ll help you feel clear, supported, and confident in what you’re submitting.

  • You’re trying to join them, but you’re worried about timing, proving your relationship, or getting separated by processing delays.


    I’ll help you understand the rules and prepare everything properly so you’re not left waiting.

  • Maybe you’ve been here on a work visa and now want to apply for residence. Or you're unsure what your options are after your current visa ends.

    I’ll review your situation and help you make a plan that actually works.

  • You're supporting your family from afar, or they’re already here on a visitor visa, but now you're trying to figure out what’s next.

    I’ll explain your options and help you prepare applications that reflect your family’s real circumstances.

  • You’re in a committed relationship but you're not sure if you meet the official criteria or what proof you need.


    I’ll make sure your application is accurate and set up for success.

  • You’ve found a business opportunity, or you're considering investing, but the immigration side feels unclear. 

    What kind of visa do you need? Can your partner or children come too? What kind of documents will Immigration NZ want to see?

    I’ll help you understand your options and what’s possible based on your goals. 

    From exploring eligibility to preparing the right evidence, I’ll guide you through the process and help you present a strong, well-prepared application that supports your investment plans, and your family’s future in New Zealand.
