Do not come without money - and lots of it! Funny, you have bought into NZ public relations. I lived in India and I am looking at ways to go back to Bangalore to raise my young son there. There is a reason PIO's are returning from the west to ... Read More
Is a Immigration Agent worth the money? SA to NZ by EmmaJaneYp
Hi There, My husband and I have made the decision to move to NZ (I have family in Auckland). Our best plan is to come over on holiday and look for work and then apply for a work visa once we have a job offer. We will try and get a job first but ...
Do not "just pack up" and move to NZ without any work: not unless you are very independently wealthy. Jobs are not easy to find: certainly not positions that pay a liveable wage. Do your research! It is very expensive to live here: cost ... Read More

Best is to get advice from an NZ immigration attorney. Odds are you may be able to get more then 130 points and qualified to come on work to residence visa. But getting a job these days is tricky business in NZ. Read More

Is there racism in New Zealand towards black people by estherl
I am a Ugandan female coming to New Zealand on a study visa for 2 years for my masters degree. I need to know if there is racism in New Zealand. Are there many black people from Africa? How are they treated? Would a little black boy of 5 years be ...
Hard to tell in Auckland. There is no direct name calling racism for say but you would feel something is off because people are not that talkative. I have not seen a single black person in the management in any company. I do feel Auckland is ... Read More

Oz and Canada are better option. NZ does not have very many jobs. In addition Auckland is very very expansive and hard to make ends meet. It is always better to do immigration paperwork by yourself first to save monies. Immigration officers will ... Read More
