Tools FAQ

  • No. They summarise self-reported inputs or list snapshots into advisory bands or matches. Only Immigration New Zealand can determine eligibility against law and instructions.

  • Instructions evolve. RTNZ pages are structured so policy data can be swapped without rewriting entire UIs. Always confirm critical facts on official INZ pages at filing time.

  • Tool flows run in your browser unless you later submit an enquiry through RTNZ’s normal channels.

  • Use tools to prepare a coherent story and evidence list, then run Check Eligibility when you want structured intake. Optional URL metadata may record which tool referred you.

  • The desktop mega menu shows the highest-traffic orientation tools. Specialist trackers and trust pages remain public, indexable, and linked from hubs and other tools.

How we weight calculator output against advisory judgement

Tools fail when users treat scaffolding as filing authority. The 60/40 framework keeps pathway maps and points surfaces honest—structured inputs, explicit policy mode labels, and escalation to eligibility or a strategy session before irreversible decisions.

  • When a tool narrows questions vs when it should stop
  • Policy snapshot discipline vs live instruction changes
  • Cross-linking to silo depth without duplicating licensed advice
