What does it take to move to another country?

Question

I am young and live in the US and would like to move to New Zealand a little later on in life.What is the prosses of moveing? How do you get all your belongings there? and it would be great to hear from someone who has made a international move before.

Answer 1

Check out immigration New Zealand they have a points system, check what it takes to get the points and work towards that, it will take some time, but would be worth it !

Answer 2

Why don't you wait till you're older and it's a little later on in your life before you start worrying about these things.

Answer 3

Imigrating to ANY other country is a long, complicate, expensive process.  Your first concern is to learn the visa requirements.  Most countries restrict immigration ( and the right to work) in their country , to people with skills that are badly needed in their country.  It would be wise to research thi now and begin to learn all you can about  N.Z.  You may start with the site below.  I am an American and i moved to mexico when i retired. It took a lot f planning andpaperwork, but was fairly easy because i do not need to work.  That makes all the difference in the world.  If you need to WORK in the county you  wish to move to, you need a work permit...and they are hard to get.

Answer 4

It is not that hard I moved from the UK to New Zealand about four years ago and I love it hear it's great! Well to start off you can't have a criminal record and you have to have some money (you can't move to NZ without any money at all) and if you have family here then you can get sponsored by them and you will get more points (you have to get a certain amount of points to enter the country) you get points if you have a qualification etc hairdresser, vet, doctor and things like that.It will take you a few months to move out like you have to do a medical test. When you want to move out you will get a package and the package explains everything you have to do. The package will recommend companies  that can move your stuff, but you need to get  a container you can get a 20 ft or a 40 ft one depending on how much stuff you have, then you just pack all your stuff in it and the container will travel by boat to NZ it will arrive a few months after you! But over all it is all worth it to move here its a great country!!!

Answer 5

Wow...okay, first the PROCESS of MOVING is complicated and expensive (and quite honestly not worth it). Secondly, you get your belongings there by plane or shipping. Like I said it's expensive.

Answer 6

Get a work permit or citizenship first.

Second sell your belongings you don't need to take with you ( no need to ship or store them).

It's expensive but if you know you want to do it, just do it.  Don't listen to anyone who says it's not worth it.  It completely is.

Answer 7

very very easy.

Why don't you go there first for a visit.

Then marry a New Zealander. that is your in.

Forget your belongings. buy there.

if you want to start a new life. don't bring your past (belongings) with you.

what is with the two thumbs down?

i married a foregnier overseas and brought her back to my country and her citizenship was given to her because she was my wife.
