Guiding Your Journey to New Zealand

I'm Jilesh Desai — a licensed immigration adviser and proud New Zealander for over a decade. Alongside my work in immigration, I continue to be a passionate radio presenter, staying connected with our vibrant communities and sharing stories that matter.

My journey into immigration advising began with my own resident visa experience — a process filled with uncertainty and challenges. That experience lit a fire in me to help others navigate the system with more clarity and less stress.

At JD Immigration, I’ve built a service grounded in care, honesty, and a deep commitment to helping people build their future in New Zealand. Whether you're here to visit, work, study, or settle permanently, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Your journey matters — and whether I’m on air or in the office, I’m dedicated to making that journey smoother, simpler, and stress-free.
