Queenstown’s peaks. Milford Sound at dawn. A fresh start at the edge of the earth. New Zealand has no embassy in Kenya — your application is judged 100% online, on your file alone, and the bona-fide test is unforgiving. We build the file that passes it.
The bona-fide test
With Schengen or the UK you at least attend a centre. With INZ there is nothing — no officer to meet, no answer to clarify. A caseworker on the other side of the planet reads your documents and decides whether you’re a genuine visitor who’ll go home. If it’s not obvious on paper, you’re refused.
The bona-fide test. One or two return-intent ties almost always fails. INZ wants three.
An RFI you can't afford. A gap turns a 4-week decision into a 6–8 week wait.
Kenya isn't NZeTA-eligible. You can't shortcut with an NZeTA — it must be a full Visitor Visa.
Most refusals aren’t about your profile — they’re about a file that documented one tie where INZ needed three.
What SwiftPass does
Since there’s no interview, the file has to make the case alone. We document at least three independent ties to Kenya, frame your purpose and finances, and close every gap an INZ officer might otherwise pause to RFI — so a remote caseworker reaches one conclusion: genuine visitor.
We file the complete application through the INZ portal — no embassy, no biometrics, nothing for you to chase.
Bank + M-Pesa structured so a strong balance reads as strong — source explained, no surprise deposits.
Refused before? We diagnose the bona-fide gap and rebuild the file to close it before you reapply.
We watch your INZ status so an RFI is never missed and the 25–35 day window doesn't slip.
The INZ fee (NZD ~$246) is paid separately to NZ Immigration. SwiftPass service fees are separate, from $199.

How it works
INZ's whole test is whether you'll leave at visa expiry. We document at least three independent ties to Kenya — employment, property, family — so the answer is undeniable.
The complete application goes through the INZ portal — no embassy, no biometrics — front-loaded so an officer never has to raise an RFI. If you're staying 6+ months, we arrange your INZ-approved TB X-ray.
We monitor your INZ status and your dashboard, so an RFI is never missed and the decision reaches you the moment it's made.
Flat fees. The service guarantee is included — if we make a review error, your service fee is refunded in full.

The NZD ~$246 INZ government fee is paid separately to NZ Immigration — no embassy, biometrics or VFS cost.
No — New Zealand has no embassy or visa office in Kenya. Applications are 100% online via the INZ portal, with no biometrics for Visitor Visa applicants. The decision is made on your paperwork alone, which is exactly why file quality is everything — there's no interview to recover in.
No. Kenya is not on New Zealand's visa-waiver list, so Kenyans cannot travel on an NZeTA — you need a full Visitor Visa applied for in advance through INZ. SwiftPass prepares and audits the complete Visitor Visa application.
It's INZ's way of deciding whether you genuinely intend to leave New Zealand at visa expiry — the single biggest refusal driver. A file with only one or two return-intent ties almost always fails. SwiftPass documents at least three independent ties to Kenya so the test is satisfied on paper.
The INZ government fee is NZD ~$246 (approximately KSh 19,000), paid directly to NZ Immigration. SwiftPass service fees are separate, from $199 flat. There's no embassy, biometrics, or VFS cost.
Only if you intend to stay more than 6 months. The certificate is INZ 1096 and must be issued by an INZ-approved panel physician in Kenya — a regular hospital X-ray isn't accepted. For typical short visits, none is required. SwiftPass arranges it when needed.
With no embassy and no interview, the paperwork has to win it the first time. We make your bona-fide undeniable, file it online, and track it to a yes — so the far side of the world finally has your name on it. Flat $199 · 94% first-submission approval.
