Education New Zealand Trained Agent since 2013

The New Zealand specialist in Bangladesh. Only New Zealand.

Eighteen years on one destination. Every student visa file we lodge is prepared to Immigration New Zealand instructions and submitted under Licensed Immigration Adviser supervision — because New Zealand has no embassy in Bangladesh, and a file that goes offshore has to stand on its documents alone.

Why a single-destination consultancy changes the outcome

Most agencies in Dhaka run six or eight destination desks from one counter. New Zealand is the smallest of them, so it gets the least attention, the least current instruction knowledge, and the weakest files. That is the gap this company was built in.

No embassy, no second chance

There is no New Zealand visa post in Bangladesh. Your application is assessed offshore by an INZ officer who will never meet you. Nothing is recoverable in an interview. The bundle is the entire case, and it either answers the officer's concerns or it does not.

Current instructions, not last year's

INZ student instructions, fund thresholds, and evidential standards change through the year. Tracking one destination properly is a full-time job. Tracking eight is how declines happen.

Licensed advice, properly separated

Under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007, immigration advice is a licensed activity. Our counselling and document work sits with our team; the visa advice and lodgement sit with our Licensed Immigration Adviser. We do not blur that line.

What we are accountable to

Four frameworks govern this work. We would rather you check them than take our word for it.

Regulatory and professional framework — NZ EduPortal / Srija BD Limited
FrameworkWhat it governs
ENZ Agent Code of Practice
(London Statement)
Ethical recruitment conduct, honest representation of institutions and outcomes, and the student's interest ahead of commission.
Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 Who may lawfully give immigration advice and lodge a visa application. Ours is lodged under Licensed Immigration Adviser supervision.
INZ Immigration Instructions The published criteria your file is actually assessed against — genuineness, funds, academic progression, and bona fides.
NZQA Pastoral Care Code 2021 The duty of care your New Zealand provider owes you after arrival. We will tell you where a provider's record on this is weak.

On approval rates. Approval for Bangladeshi applications to New Zealand has fallen sharply. Immigration New Zealand has publicly attributed that fall to doctored bank statements and income tax returns, undisclosed agents, and agencies pushing volume through subagents. We will not quote you a success percentage on a web page — any agency that does should be asked to prove it, with the period and the source. We will show you our file history in person, and tell you honestly whether your own profile is likely to pass.

How a file is actually built

We assess before we accept. If your profile will not pass, you will hear it in the first meeting, not after you have paid an application fee.

Eligibility and risk assessment

Academic record, study gap, funds, sponsor relationship, and previous travel or refusal history, scored against current INZ instructions before anything is lodged. Some files we decline to take.

Programme and provider match

Genuine academic progression from what you have already studied. Not whatever course a provider is paying most to fill — INZ reads progression, and so do we.

Offer, fees and documentation

Offer of place, tuition and living-cost evidence, sponsor documents, and a statement of purpose written in your own voice and mapped to real evidence, not template intent.

Pre-lodgement audit

The complete bundle is audited against the officer's likely concerns before it goes anywhere — every claim traced to a document, every gap either closed or explained.

Lodgement under LIA supervision

Submission and all immigration advice handled under our Licensed Immigration Adviser. If INZ raises a request for further information, the response is drafted the same way.

Pre-departure and arrival

Visa grant, travel, accommodation, and your provider's pastoral care obligations under the 2021 Code explained before you fly.

Questions students and parents ask

Which is the best New Zealand education consultancy in Bangladesh?
Ask any agency four questions and judge the answers: How many destinations do you handle, and how many New Zealand files did you lodge last year? Are you recognised by Education New Zealand? Who is the Licensed Immigration Adviser on my file, and what is their licence number? Can I see anonymised decline letters and how you responded? An agency that can answer all four is a specialist. One that cannot is a reseller. Srija BD Limited has worked on New Zealand only since 2008, has been an Education New Zealand Trained Agent since November 2013, and lodges under Licensed Immigration Adviser supervision.
There is no New Zealand embassy in Bangladesh. Where does my application go?
Bangladeshi student visa applications are processed offshore by Immigration New Zealand, not locally. There is no local interview to clarify a weak file. Your documents carry the entire case, which is why document integrity and evidence mapping matter more for New Zealand than for destinations with a local post.
Can an education agent give me immigration advice?
Not unless they are licensed or exempt. Under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007, giving immigration advice on a New Zealand visa is a licensed activity, and it is an offence to provide it unlicensed. Education counselling and immigration advice are different things. Ask any agency who holds the licence on your file and verify the number on the Immigration Advisers Authority register yourself.
My student visa was declined. Can it be reapplied?
Often, but only after the decline is properly diagnosed. A reapplication that does not address the specific grounds in the original decision will fail again and worsen your immigration history. We read the decline letter line by line, identify which instruction the officer applied, and rebuild the evidence against it — or tell you plainly that reapplying now is the wrong move.
Do you charge students a service fee?
Our fee structure is explained in writing before you engage us, including what is covered, what is not, and what is payable to third parties such as INZ or NZQA. Immigration advice fees and any education service fees are stated separately. You should never be asked to pay against a verbal arrangement.
Which New Zealand institutions do you work with?
We hold agreements with New Zealand universities and institutes of technology and have participated in Education New Zealand agent training and institutional roadshows in Bangladesh since 2013. Current partner institutions and the programmes open to Bangladeshi applicants are confirmed at assessment, because intake availability changes each semester.
