Is it hard for an american with a college degree to move to, and live in New Zealand?

Answer 1

New Zealand Immigration is very procative in encouraging "skilled" and "educated" migrants into the country....so come on down , I'd welcome ya....

Seriously my American b/f has been here 3yrs and he doesnt have a college degree.....but...he did work ( labouring).....so wasnt dependant on the Government here to support him etc...

Good Luck.....youll be fine
