Property prices in New Zealand by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Finding affordable housing in New Zealand is number one priority for newcomers. Tell us more about the estate market in your district/city/region. What are the most desired places to live? What are the most affordable ones? ...
I agree, the housing quality is not of the same standard as Europe and certainly no where near that of the USA. You can find comfortable housing on the North Island where I live, if you look around a bit. It is expensive though. In the USA I paid ... Read More

Hi I'm planning to migrate to new Zealand with my husband.I would like to work as a doctor.anybody know how to get started?
I agree Kiwis aren't the best drivers in the world but they do use indicators for the most part. At least in the Auckland area they do. They're not the worst drivers I've ever seen but still drive worse than where I'm from. It's ... Read More

No need to bring a lot of stuff with you to NZ. A lot of apartments and other rental properties can be rented with everything and I do mean everything already supplied. From bedding and towels to cutlery, plates and frying pans. I would only bring ... Read More
Adapting to the climate in New Zealand by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Adjusting to new climatic conditions is key in any 暗网禁区riation process. Moving to New Zealand is no exception. What are the climate characteristics of New Zealand? How does the local weather impact your daily life, mood or ...
I live on the North Island just North of Auckland so winters are rainy but mild temperatures. It rarely gets down to freezing. It can be quite cool at times with the rain and humidity but nothing like winters in the USA where I came from. Houses ... Read More

Driving in New Zealand by Maximilien
Hi, What do you think of the way people drive in New Zealand? How different is it from your home country? Respecting the road safety rules, driving etiquette such as general courtesy, speed excess聟 what are the characteristics of the driving ...
I find the traffic is much slower in New Zealand than in big cities in the USA. Fewer speeders in New Zealand also. Motorcycles are quite scary here. They weave in and out of traffic, pull up on your left side and pass you by driving in between the ... Read More
Safety in New Zealand by Christine
Hi, We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in New Zealand? How would you define the level of safety in the country? Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear? Do you think ...
I have lived here for 3 years and find NZ to be much safer than the USA. Yes there is crime in NZ and in some areas there seems to be quite a lot. I think most crime is related to drinking and drugging. I feel pretty safe since I don't engage in ... Read More

I moved here from the USA about 3 years ago. I live in the Auckland area as that is where most of the jobs seem to be. If your husband is a labourer he could most likely find work in Christ Church which is a little cheaper to live in than the ... Read More

You would have to qualify for a work visa before you can move here. Your profession would have to be on the skills shortage list. Best to get a degree in the USA for something on the skills shortage list such as nursing or other medical field ... Read More
The Big move by taragheb
Is it a good idea to travel to New Zealand with a visiting visa and search for work during my stay, and if I managed to find work, is it acceptable to change my visiting visa to a work visa? :/ Tamer..
That sounds like a question for immigration. To the best of my knowledge you can not look for work while on a visitor visa. I am from the USA and have lived in NZ for 3 years. I was not allowed to work if I came over on a visitor visa. Read More

Stardust, I immigrated 2 years ago and the paper work for licensure (I am a nurse) and other immigration requirements can be daunting. I went thru an agency for the job part and saved myself quite a bit of work. I used "Accent health care ... Read More
