Can someone give me advice on moving from america to new zealand?

Question

in 1 and a half years, im gonna be moving from ohio to new zealand to live with my boyfriend. can someone please give me advice on what exactly we (me and my bf) need to do so everything can work out fine??

Answer 1

The best advice is to be sure of the bf.  Are you getting married?  Have you finished school?  Finishing college should be your first priority.  Then you can support yourself regardless of what happens w/ the bf.  And, if you are under 25, you should not be worried about the bf at all.

Answer 2

get ready to pay a  lot of taxes on everything you but from meals to clothes  TVs etc. you will love the weather  it's nice and green there all the time great wine and beer  nice people great place to live just pack your clothes have a great life good luck

Answer 3

Not sure but if Hillary gets elected, do you mind if I go with you?

Answer 4

Whoa Whoa Whoa...slow down!

You are moving to a different country with your boyfriend?

Are you sure you want this guy-and he wants you?

Thats the main thing of making sure everything will turn out fine...

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Sure can.

You'll have some reading to do....   You could do everything yourself instead of going through an agent.

Answer 10

You will need to apply for a resident visa. Contact the NZ Embassy or consulate.  You may need to show proof of your relationship of your boyfriend eg, photos, love letters etc ( I know this sounds personal) Is your boyfriend from NZ? If not, then the both of you are going to be on a points system and prove that you have enough money to support yourself while in NZ for 2 years.  If your boyfriend is from NZ then he needs to prove that he can surport you for 2 years.  This can be very stressful, and cost lots of money.  Oh yes, you will need to take medical tests as well.  

Best of Luck
