Corporate Relocation
How we can support your new employees.
Pre-Arrival Support
It’s about understanding people’s specific needs
Through our conversations, and by completing our simple Accommodation and Lifestyle Needs Questionnaires, we profile aspects of your lifestyle, housing, educational, recreational, and individual requirements and expectations.
This enables us to conduct preliminary research for localities, to meet an Individual and Family’s requirements and budget guidelines.
Fully Comprehensive Support
It’s about being the best there is in relocation and resettlement
We recognize the stress associated with leaving your family, friends and lifestyle behind and in trying to re-establish yourself in a new place.
We are committed to making that transition as easy as possible and becoming a friend you and your people can count on.
Tailored Relocation Support
We focus on the needs of the spouse and family until they are totally self-sufficient.
Our reputation with our corporate clients, resettled families, and our staff as being ethical, honest, trustworthy, and professional is paramount to our ongoing success.
Community Integration
It’s about helping your employees to be happy and settled in New Zealand.
In our experience new arrivals need most support in helping integrate fully into their new home and community. This is where they often need specific support for shopping, doctor, dental, recreation, and other needs that can be taken for granted in their home city.
“Our first few weeks in NZ have been exactly as we wanted, stress free and sorted with jobs, housing, schools, cars, clubs, etc.
All of this would not have been possible without On Arrival service, and guidance along the way.”

“My relocation to New Zealand from the US brought along many challenges, but these challenges were quickly eliminated with the superior service of OnArrival.”
— Fabrice Hudry, Country Sales Director, AREVA T&D
“Everything from looking for a house, locating a school for our son, to buying furniture and groceries, Eve was there, guiding, advising, and trying to make our relocation as smooth as she possibly could, even providing temporary household items when our shipping was delayed. I would highly recommend On Arrival’s services to anyone, no matter where they might be moving from.”
— Fernando & Cintra Castellanos, Trinidad & Tobago
My employer enlisted the services of On Arrival to assist with our resettlement from South Africa. As expected, their services have been outstanding and I shudder to think how much more stressful and difficult this move would have been without them.
The single biggest concernon arriving in a new country was not knowing anyone we could call on for help. It was therefore a huge relief to have On arrival taking care of us.
As a result, we are really well settled, we have a home, schools enrolled, know the bus routes, location of doctors, shopping centres and supermarkets, community centre and day care centres.
Thank you On Arrival.
Paul Mathews and Family, South Africa

On Arrival recognized as Best Professional Services Company by The Chamber of Commerce
On Arrival will do everything they can to help their clients adjust. They will open bank accounts, find the right rental accommodation (and make sure it has crockery and bed linen) plus provide info on important things like school zones and supermarkets. Partners are introduced into the community around them so they do not feel alone and isolated. ‘On Arrival’ will remain accessible to their re-settled clients until they are no longer required – often right up to the moment they buy their first house, and afterwards.

With people and contacts in most New Zealand cities and towns and all across the world they can help anyone moving anywhere. So if you are an HR Department who has done all the hard work to get a new staff member to their first day on the job – make sure you have Don and Eve on the team keeping them in it!
Why On Arrival Resettlement completely removes any stress in Relocating to New Zealand.
On our first introduction to the team of Directors of On Arrival New Zealand, one is struck by the overwhelming enthusiasm, professionalism and timeous approach to customer service.
Having immigrated from South Africa, we have, but only gone from strength to strength since our arrival 2 years ago. As a young family with varying needs, the comprehensive and well researched resettlement package provided by On Arrival left no stone unturned.
That’s the type of service and information source we needed when we arrived. Coupled with their wealth of experience as Immigrants themselves and our exposure to the many opportunities they presented, the road ahead seemed a journey with a Team.
Having met the other team members of the Company, and the families that have settled as far back as twenty years ago, I am convinced that the services provided by On Arrival New Zealand far surpasses one’s expectations of a Resettlement company.
On Arrival means business when they say “Our service never stops”. Two years on and I am still a very happy and content client as they are only but a call away from us. The people of On Arrival New Zealand are ambassadors of this beautiful country and their services contribute to the positive image and development of our economy.

Wondering why you should live in New Zealand?
Well, here are a few reasons why so many people choose to move to New Zealand – the Land of the Long White Cloud.
There is certainly no shortage of great reasons to move to New Zealand (or Aotearoa to use its Native Maori name). If you’ve ever whiled away long dreary afternoons wishing you lived somewhere more beautiful, exciting or with more opportunities, then look no further! New Zealand has always been a popular destination – especially amongst more discerning migrants looking for more than just sunshine. NZ always features highly on the PSS National UK Migration Survey and for the past 3 years, New Zealand has been rated 2nd in HSBC’s Expat Explorer Survey.
In Gallup’s recent Net Potential Migration Index, New Zealand came top as the country people most wanted to migrate to. In fact, if everyone who wanted to migrated to New Zealand, its population would increase by a massive 232% to 11 million!
There are many hundreds of reasons people choose to live in New Zealand but lets start with our top 10.
1. Beautiful scenery & views
2. High quality of life
3. Friendly and welcoming people
