I know dealing with immigration directly can be very scary considering if you are not sure how to sort out and get a visa to live here in NZ. I was married to a Citizen of NZ and I am so grateful that he got Michael Yoon on board. He know exactly what to do and get the Visa sorted for me and my son.Since he was born in my place of Citizens.My case was very complicated one. He was so Responsive and was there with us every step of the way. We will always seek legal advise from Michael Yoon firm because he knows what to do and how to deal with immigration in getting a Visa to live here lawfully. Now I've got my Residency for many year's now and my Son his Citizenship. Thank you so much for everything you've done for our family. Ruth & Michael Santauro.

I'm so happy and thankful for all the help and support I got from Michael during my New Zealand visa process. Unlike other lawyers that I've worked with before, Michael made me feel at ease and confident that I was being taken care of. He made sure I had all the documents I needed and went out of his way to make the entire process painless and easy. Best service in New Zealand!

Working with Michael was fantastic! We were in kind of a tricky situation when we found him, but he guided us smoothly, competently, and quickly to our ideal outcome. We really appreciated that he took the time to make everything clear and lay out the various options. Don't even bother looking any further—Michael is amazing, and you'll be lucky to be in such good hands for your NZ immigration needs.

Michael was amazing! From the moment I started working with him, I felt like I was in great hands. He was quick to respond to questions, even far outside of standard work hours. Plus it was clear that he always had our best interests in mind, and was constantly looking for the best path forward. In short, if you're looking for immigration/visa help in NZ, Michael is absolutely incredible and there's no need to look any further.

Michael did a great job with my immigration process.He is very calm, responsible and professional.He is very knowlegable and skilled at what he does.Something that makes him better than other advisors that I have contacted is that he is not greedy about money. He provided me alot of help and guidance with my visa related process even with things that were not a part of the contract/agreement.I definitely recomment MY law to anyone seeking immigration advice. Thanks!

Highly recommended and credible immigration services provided by Micheal for one of the most difficult cases!! My daughter has long-standing medical conditions which makes her visa approval a tough process. We have been granted this visa after eight months of struggle, and it’s all because of the advocacy and the immigration services of Michael. Thank you so much Michael for your support throughout this time !!!

I have to say that Michael Yoon is the best immigration lawyer in Christchurch! My case is very hard and complicated. You can not imagine that INZ changed 3 immigration visa officer in my case. The former 2 visa officer are so subjective and unprofessional. After analyzing my case carefully, Michael listed the materials that I need to be prepared, then wrote several letters to reply the visa officer. From his letters, I found that all his speech were very professional and logical, and all the words and sentences presented his confidence and professionalism. It is worth mentioning that throughout the case, his words was well-founded, and he even refuted the views of the immigration manager to convince him. I believe that it is because of Michael's professionalism that the visa officer changed his perspective and finally gave me a visa fairly.I feel so lucky choosing Michael as my lawyer. I really recommend anyone with immigration issues to choose Michale Yoon. Believe me, choose Michael, you will not be disappointed!

My partner and I went to Michael for a Partnership Work Visa. He is very nice, trusty and the most important thing: He is experienced in what he’s doing. When I had specific questions he always replied quickly and we never felt to be left alone during the whole process. He’s very transparent with information about the visa application and always willing to help. Our Visa got accepted without Immigration NZ questioned any of our documents.
I highly recommend Michael Yoon.

My Partner and I went to Michael‘s Office to ask him if he would help us through the Partnership Visa process. He is really kind and gave us a lot of tips and unknown details during the process which was very useful. My Partnership visa got approved. Although it was delayed Michael finally made it come true. If I had questions he responded quickly so my partner and I never had the feeling to be left alone during the process. Thank you, Michael. :)

I'm very grateful with Michael Yoon, he has been very polite, patience, helpful, been there all the time, answering even on late weekends. He works really fast.I visited his page and I wanted to call him to explain my case but there was no number and I found an email, I wrote the email without expectations to have a reply (you know what I mean). I was thinking maybe just to go in person. But no, he offers a great service, and he is replying emails, even if you do not believe it.After my work visa got shorter due my company status changed, I was very stressful to have to leave the country, but he provided an excellent guide, and I am still here with hope to become resident.Great Service, if you need anything relate with INZ I am sure he can guide you, and help you and what you need.Thanks so much.

Anxious about immigration? Choose Yoon!Michael is an exceptional immigration lawyer. With clarity, respect, and timeliness, he guided me and my husband through my partnership-based resident visa, which was approved in just over six months. We had some minor concerns about my application, mainly fueled by immigration horror stories in the news, but he put our minds at ease with a realistic assessment of our situation. The peace of mind he brought us is priceless, so it was worth the $3000 price tag that he clearly explained from the start. I thought these positive Google reviews were too good to be true, but the real truth is that Michael is just that good!

I came to know Mr Yoon from last year November when I was looking fr an immigration lawyer to assist with my residency. When looked on google and seen more than 80 clients were recommended his service, that's how I picked him. Now I know that all comments I've read were absolutely correct. He is a real expertise with a positive attitude and courage who can stand on your behalf arguing your case against immigration. I received my resident visa last week and we are more than happy to recommend him to all of you who are having doubts and troubles with visa applications. Even when your case is getting complicated, no worries he will fight it and give u 100% excellency like he did to mine. He is a true expert with everything regarding immigration. We can't thank you enough for what you have done for me n my family Mr Yoon. Your service is excellent and outstanding. We are satisfied with everything.Regards Valasi n family.

I am very grateful to Immigration Lawyer Michael Yoon for helping me with the successful application for a one-year Work Visa for my Filipino domestic helper/Nanny. Throughout the process, Michael Yoon was kind, supportive and gave good advice. It was providence that I found Michael Yoon while reading online for immigration agents and lawyers. He responded to my initial enquiry and helped to put me on the right track with the visa application process. My entire family and my Helper/Nanny are delighted with the result.

I saw the reviews on google and that’s how I got to know about Michael Yoon and sought his help. There is no doubt that the wonderful reviews about him is very true. He is so comfortable to work with, a true genuine lawyer, responds very quickly whether it is a silly question or not. Michael has vast knowledge of immigration laws and guides you in the right direction. He prepared the applications meticulously with great attention to detail, kept regular follow ups with the immigration case officer, very sincere and transparent. His professional approach and deep commitment to work is highly appreciated. Extremely satisfied. Once again, thank you very much for everything Michael and I will definitely come to you soon for my wife’s and daughter’s other visa and residency application.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDMichael and his team are exceptional, with professionalism, commitment and hard work they achieved a successful application for the partnership based work visa this year, for my partner and I. Applying for a visa might be a stressful experience, but certainly not with them, they gave us the peace of mind, confidence and understanding during all way through the application process. To anyone who is looking for a highly committed and competent immigration lawyer but also a genuine person who is compassionate and understanding, Michael and his team are the best at what they do and I wouldn't look anywhere else. We will definitely be returning to gain their support in the next steps in my journey to becoming a citizen of this beautiful country.

My application for partnership work visa was almost declined. I engaged Michael just before one day of last date to submit further evidences. Michael within one day could change the whole scenario. It was not less than any miracle that I got my work visa because of him. I read it Mr. Michael Yoon is the best lawyer in New Zealand and I was proven right straight away. All the migrants having any issues with your immigration without any any second bring your case to Michael and you will never regret. Many thanks Mr. Michael for showing such high level of professionalism and being absolute amazing help.

Immigration could be a daunting process more so when you have a lot of documentation to prepare to prove you and your wife are not telling lies about your relationship such was a case of ours, Michael Yoon from Kannangara and Thompson has been a great asset, simply a master in his craft. You usually get your standard Immigration advisers and you have people like Michael who because of their educational background and in depth knowledge of New Zealand Law specializing in Immigration make that bit of the process seem a lot more smoother. Thanks to him me and my wife are now together in the country that we love. To anyone out there seeking expert immigration assistance i would highly recommend Michael Yoon from Kannangara &Thompson.

I would like to thank Michael so much for all the hard work in helping me to obtain my visa in New Zealand. I know that it could not have happened without your professionalism and commitment. What was probably the most stressful situation to deal with was made so much easier with all your time, patience and positive attitude when appealing for the application with New Zealand Immigration.I had a couple of meetings with you that left me feeling confident and hopeful about your dedicated services. Since my first meeting with you, I knew that I was dealing with a person who is highly professional in what you do. You knew all the answers to my questions and right away offered different ways to deal with my visa application. I am very impressed with your knowledge and customer oriented attitudes.I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.Thank you very much and I am forever grateful.Yours sincerely,Ran

I highly recommend Michael Yoon for any immigration services as he has considerable background and experience in the area. He is very reliable and always responds back with full of helpful information. Back in 2009, I applied New Zealand Resident Visa through Michael Yoon, even if the immigration law was quite stringent at that time, I successfully got a granted NZ residence. He also helped me a lot with Work Permit for my mother for several years.I am really appreciated of Michael Yoon and his service, which allowed me to stay and live in NZ.

Michael yoon was the only reason me and wife are still together In new zealand without him it would have been a different story. I was working for this company for 6 years starting at my age of 19 and I worked my way upto the team leader position the company promised me to support me for my recidency and other legal requirements for the immigration purpose and every thing was Goin good but All of a sudder there was a change in management and the new person who started as the manager had other plans which left me stranded they said they were not in a position to help me. Without knowing any of the immigration rules or how to apply or what to do me and my wife made a decision and that was to get a professional advice and thank god we went to Michael yoon. He had answer for all our questions he actually made us feel comfortable by letting us know how we can approach the immigration what are our strengths ect. All we had to do was to provide the information what Michael had asked for and the rest is history . Even now if we need any legal advice the only person we go to is Michael yoon that's how much we trust in him.

I would like to share my great experience working with Lawyer Michael Yoon. I am originally from Russia and I had been living for 4 years in Canada. I decided to move to New Zealand 2 years ago. It wasn’t a spontaneous decision. My oldest brother lived in Christchurch and he was a resident. I was on a tourist visa when I arrived in New Zealand. Initially, I applied for skilled immigration through the job offer. My brother had a Russian lawyer who had a good reputation and seemed to be very knowledgeable. I don’t want to go into details but that ‘Russian lawyer’ gave me the wrong advice and made my stay illegal in New Zealand. Luckily, I had already met my partner. When my work visa got declined and I became illegal in the country, my partner’s mother advised Michael Yoon. In short, Michael Yoon managed to extend my tourist visa then get me a work partnership visa and after that my residency. I want to thank Michael Yoon for the incredible support and professional advice. He was very honest and gave me all possible scenarios and solutions for my difficult case. He replied to my email very fast (within an hour). Because of Michael Yoon, I can finally move on with my life. I am very grateful that I met Michael Yoon. I would definitely recommend Michael Yoon as an immigration lawyer who is hardworking, honest professional who genuinely wants to help you without overcharging.

I really appreciate to Laywer Michael Yoon. I was very lucky to meet you. When I got PPI letter from immigration for my residency application it was just before the Xmas holiday. It was super hard mission to find right lawyer that time. I posted all the Korean communities also sent emails to many lawyers but was very hard to get answer that season. Then my hero Michael sent me msg and it was like I found a light in the dark to me. My case was pretty complicated and bit twisted. If you're not working at my work place it's bit hard to understand the situation but he solved it smoothly and very professional way. He stayed up for whole night to help me the day before we sent the final letter. I have got my residency 5 months later after we sent mail. Meanwhile Michael kept sending mails to my officer even I didn't ask for. When I tried to find lawyer, someone told me that most of lawyers don't want to take the case if it looked hopeless or hard to win. To me Michael was not just only the lawyer to find a work but more like who understood my situation and tried to help as a good person. I still remember that frustrating days before I met Michael. Now I am travelling the world, writing this in Colombia. It was my first mission when I get residency. I want to say thank you to Michael. If he didn't hand me I am not here now. All the best for Michael Yoon. He is the best lawyer. :)

I have got a few hospitality businesses around the South Island. Michael Yoon has been looking after our employees’ visa cases and always proven himself great re how he uses common senses in immigration matters for them. He excels in problem solving by having a full understanding of the immigration law and talking to the right people in the immigration New Zealand. If in trouble, he is the one to talk to rather than being ripped of by average lawyers at large law firms.

My own experience with this Immigration lawyer in Christchurch is hard for me to explain what I have been experience with my family through our journey to look for more opportunities for my family of 10 in Nz.I am from Tonga and I did migrate to NZ on a 3 years work visa looking for more opportunities for my big family on the rebuilding of Christchurch after the earthquake.I am a decorator and the rate that I was offered by employer on my contract was not enough to look after my big family so I wanted to move to another employer who offered me more.To do that is not legal unti my visa condition change. Having no experience about immigration stuff was an issue for us.I heard from a friend of mine about Michael Yoon the immigration lawyer. so I goggle his name and get his contact then call him explain to him what I wanted, we set an appointment on the next day. He was very friendly and he gave me the best advice what I need to do.So all those things that I wanted was done in no time.After that he told me that I am qualify to apply for my Nz resident which was a shock for me to hear that. So he gave a list of all what needed from me and my family to prepare for our residency application. When everything was ready I send it to him. He lodge our application right away in March 2016 five month later I got an email from him that our residency application has been approved and he need our passport to send over to the Nz immigration.That was one of the best thing ever happen to our family which we really appreciate the professional service and help that was provide for us through this best of the best company .So far from my experience that I have with this Company I recommend to use them for any of their services cause they are honest reliable and professional.THANKSVUNA HALA

Michael was not the first lawyer who I had consulted for my resident application but was the only choice I would like to invite as my representative. I believe this was because his professional and prudential work style and rich experience in immigration law. Besides, he is also a hard-working man who always gave instant feedback to my immigration officer's and my inquiries. His professionalism gave me confidence in recommending him to my other friends not only on immigration cases but also on other legal issues.

First time when I saw Michael can I tell he is a trustworthy and diligent lawyer. His professional style and personality encourages me to choose him as my representative on my resident visa application. In the nearly one-year-long application process, he not only gave me step by step instruction on all the essential supporting materials but also make many helpful suggestions under his profession and experiences on how to vividly present my real skill and my duty under my title.Michael is not only experienced in immigration law but also good at converging multi-cultures. He helped me to use a Kiwi-style to show my ability; this is also a useful lesson for my life development in this country.I believe his experiences and prudential style have helped many skilled and qualified applicants successfully get their visas. I had recommended him to many friends and would like to keep doing it. Besides, my family would also hire him as our legal consultant in the future.

I still remember that how hard it was for me to become a resident of New Zealand although I had all those skills this Country may need. Credit goes to Michael Yoon who really worked hard on my applications with NZ Immigration. He is not only very professional but he is also a very kind hearted young man. I feel proud to say that I class him as my family lawyer. He started from my work visas, moving to Residency application and then Citizenship documentation. He have good knowledge about property law as well. I recommend everyone to avail his services as and where required, to acheive fruitful results.

When I came to NZ in 2009, I had absolutely no idea how i can survive by myself even visa issue. He had been my friend, guardian, lawyer with lot of immigration advice. He did my work visa and PR. Now i have settled well in NZ so I must to say he is very knowledgeable,warm and friendly.Thanks you Michael

Michael has been very helpful for me from day one. I approached him to enquire about applying for my Residence Visa.He helped me with all the paper works necessary to submit the application. Michael is very professional and easy to approach. I came to know about him online and has seen numerous positive feedbacks from his clients which made me choose him with confidence. He is very prompt in following up and thus making the whole process easy and simple. My residence visa was approved in no time with his efforts. Thank you Michael for helping me throughout the process and I would definitely recommend him for any immigration related services.

Michael Yoon is the best. Everything was done through email and never had to see him in person, after 3 and half months he called me to say congratulations that my PR has been approved. Unforgettable moment of my life.

Michael helped my residency visa, my case officer was assuming me with character issue. I thought there were no other options for me. I asked Michael for help and Michael’s idea was request to INZ to change my case officer because the case officer was not seeing and treating me with fair-mindedly. His idea was brilliant, it accepted by technical advisor from INZ and my case went well perfectly. Michael is very professional, excellent communicator and work with the facts, advise realistic matters, no giving you false hope. I do highly recommend Michale (Immigration layers New Zealand) with confidence.

We were lucky to have Michael Yoon as our Immigration Lawyer. Dealing with the Immigration Department has always been very exhausting and ours was a difficult case with many problems. Michael has made it easy and the application went through successfully. We can't thank him enough for his prompt reply that always set our mind at ease and every single cent is worth spending. We would highly recommend him for experience and consistent prompt service.

We came across Michael Yoon's firm on the website when we were desperate to look for a lawyer to help us gain our residency. We wrote to him in the evening and were surprised to get a reply back just after 9.00pm on the very same day. We made an appointment to see him with our thick file full of immigration documents compiled over the years and since then he has been with us every step of the way via email and helped us gain our residency within a year. During this period he always replied emails promptly on the same day regardless day or night, weekdays or weekends. We have also used his service when we purchased our first house after the residency and he is just as efficient as ever. We would highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal service.

From my experience, it is very possible that things can go wrong unexpectedly when you deal with the immigration, even if you might be a perfect candidate. It’s a big decision when you are planning to live in a new country and I don’t think you wish to have any trouble. You should find the expertise in this area who you can trust and take you to the stage you desire.I believe Michael Yoon is one of those experienced lawyers in NZ. I first met him for my work visa application in 2011, then permanent residency application and the properties I recently purchased.When applying for a visa or permanent residency from my experience, it is always required to work within the given time frame. Michael has never failed to meet the deadlines, therefore, we were able to get what we wanted with his various strategies especially for my permanent residency application which was not easy at all with a very limited time frame.I highly recommend him if you are looking for a lawyer for any immigration or property matter and I will surely work with him again next time!

I do highly recommend Michal Yoon. He is a professional and experienced immigration lawyer. When he took my case, he talked with me to know my background and experiences, then helped me to prepare my applying application and material in every detail. Waiting for the approval process he always replies my email efficiently and clearly answers my questions. As a result, I smoothly got my resident visa a couple of months later. So again, he is a trustable and professional immigration lawyer.

I highly recommend Michal Yoon if you are planning to find a lawyer for your visa. I got both my work visa and resident visa in 2016. At the beginning, I was planning to work with Michael only for my resident visa because my work visa was supposed to be easily approved. However, as my application had been almost declined, I asked him to assist me and he jumped in. I got my case officer replaced twice and finally I got my work visa approved, thanks to his big support. After 4 months later, my resident visa was approved, which was unsurprisingly quick because it was only 2 months after I submitted my application. This is due to the battle with NZ Immigration at my work visa application. I really appreciate Michael because his response was always in a timely manner and his explanation was easy to understand. Without his assistance, my resident visa wouldn't have been approved.

I got my resident visa approved in last year. My case was a difficult one. So I applied my smc application appeal through Mr. Michael Yoon. He helped me to gather all documents in a professional way and made and presented in front of the IPT & immigration and helped me to get the visa on time. I do recommendMr. Michael Yoon, the best lawyer you can trust for all the Immigration matters.
