What an incredible Labour Weekend at Pistang Pilipino here in Wellington! 🇵🇭❤️🇳🇿

From the colourful celebrations to the warm smiles, familiar faces, and wonderful conversations, it was truly a pleasure for Begin Immigration Solutions to be part of this year’s Pistang Pilipino.

A heartfelt MARAMING SALAMAT to the organisers and volunteers who worked tirelessly to bring our Filipino community together and make this event such a memorable one. We are grateful to have been part of a celebration that reminds us of the warmth, energy, and strong sense of community that Filipinos bring wherever we call home. ❤️

To our clients who came by to say hello and whom we finally had the chance to meet in person, thank you! It was genuinely special to put faces to the names and stories we have been privileged to be part of.

And to everyone who stopped by our booth to introduce themselves, ask questions, or inquire about their New Zealand immigration journey, thank you for trusting us with your stories, plans, and dreams. We hope our conversations gave you a little more clarity about the path ahead.

We came away from Pistang Pilipino with full hearts and an even deeper appreciation for the community we are fortunate to serve.

Maraming salamat, Wellington! Maraming salamat, Pistang Pilipino! 🇵🇭

This compilation captures just a few of the wonderful moments from the weekend. 🎥❤️

🎉 A long-overdue and very welcome change for families in New Zealand!

One of the frustrations we have seen over the years involved dependent children of New Zealand Residence Visa holders and New Zealand citizens who had already lodged a Dependent Child Residence Visa application but had limited temporary visa options while waiting for their residence decision.

From 16 November 2026, Immigration New Zealand is introducing a new pathway that allows dependent children of New Zealand citizens and residence class visa holders to be granted a Dependent Child Student Visa while their residence or citizenship application is being processed.

✅ The child must have a Dependent Child Residence Visa application with INZ (or a citizenship application with DIA) under consideration.
✅ The application must be supported by a parent who is a New Zealand citizen or resident.
✅ The visa can be granted for up to 12 months, with further visas available if required while the residence application remains under assessment.
✅ No evidence of enrolment is required.
✅ No sponsorship or maintenance guarantees are required.

This is a practical and family-friendly change that helps bridge the gap while residence applications are being processed. It provides greater certainty for families and removes some of the unnecessary hurdles that previously created stress for parents and children alike.

For many families, this is exactly the sort of common-sense solution that has been needed for a long time.

📞 If you have a child with a pending Dependent Child Residence Visa application and would like to understand how these changes may apply to your situation, get in touch with the team at Begin Immigration Solutions.

Finally met in person after a whole year of supervision! 😄

Apparently, all those calls, messages, random questions, and policy debates have been worth it. Glad to hear I'm doing this supervision thing right! 😂

In all seriousness, it's always a privilege to mentor and support aspiring immigration professionals. Our industry grows stronger when experienced advisers take the time to guide the next generation, and Ericka has been a pleasure to work with throughout her provisional licensing journey.

Thank you for the kind words, Ericka. It was great catching up over dinner and finally putting a real-life meeting behind all those online conversations.

Keep shining and keep learning. The profession is in good hands. 👏

One year of having Kuya Jasper as my supervisor, and we finally met in person!

It was so nice to finally sit down, have dinner, and catch up after a year of calls, messages, and endless questions from me. 😂

He’s one of the people behind what I know today and one of the reasons I’ve come this far in my career. Really grateful for all the guidance and knowledge he’s shared with me along the way.

Nice finally meeting you in person, Kuys! 🙏🏽 I appreciate you, a lot.
