The 99% Success Method

Core Strategy: Local Help or Remote Desktop

You MUST find a friend in NZ to apply for you, or use Remote Desktop to control a computer located in NZ.

Why Do This?
8000 km

The physical distance from MY to NZ causes high latency. When thousands compete, this millisecond delay is amplified infinitely.

Physical Advantage

The closer you are physically to NZ, the fewer data nodes you pass through, resulting in significantly faster server response times.

Critical Warning

NEVER use USA, Japan, or Finland for “practice submissions”.

These countries do not require payment for the visa application. Therefore, clicking Submit constitutes a formal submission immediately! This can have serious consequences.
