Question

Where are the best sources of information on emigrating to New Zealand and is it a good idea?

Answer 1

The best source of info is our Dept. of Immigration.   There are all these immigration consultants elsewhere, but you can make preliminary enquiries through the Dept. of Immigration for free.   The private agencies are all expensive and some of them are scams.   I'm an immigrant to NZ and now a NZ citizen.   Came in 1968 from Britain, when it was much easier to get in.   Is it a good idea? Well, it worked for me.   NZ has been kind to me, but of course it depends on what sort of lifestyle you like.   Some of our immigrant friends came here from countries with higher standards of living than here, but they still prefer our lifestyle.   If you can afford it, come here for a visit before selling up and emigrating here.   Some of our overseas friends come here for a holiday and don't like the geographical isolation and lifestyle.   You'll need to make up your own mind.

You need to check out the NZ Government immigration website to see if you are eligible to emigrate.

Good idea? If you want a laidback lifestyle in an uncrowded country, New Zealand is the place for you!
