Dress up like a sheep!

Answer 2

First of all - if you are in the UK there is an Expo for NZ coming up - "Change your life and move to New Zealand!

Find your job at the Opportunities New Zealand Expo." see details http://www.expo-newzealand.com  Well worth it, immigration is there to help and job offers are made to the skilled people.

There is also a Free Advice (Forum) http://www.movetonz.org/forum/

Answer 3

You really should be asking this the in the New Zealand section not in the Australian section. The two countries are friendly neighbours, but that's all. Our laws and regulations are different and we have similar but different immigration policies.

One thing I will say though is don't waste your money on an immigration agent or advisor. For immigration to corrupt or inefficent countries, they may be useful, but New Zealand is neither of those. Do everything yourselves - it's not all that difficult and it won't cost nearly as much.

For all info. go to http://www.immigration.govt.nz/

Answer 4

Im not 100% sure myself.  just go on the Department of Immigration New Zealand (Department of Labour) website and it might provide you with some info and also some helpful links.
