Hey,

Looking at relocating to New Zealand with my husband and 2 children. Wondered if anyone can help with how to start the whole process, the do’s and don’ts and if there is anything that is a must. So many websites out there but can have conflicting information.

Don’t think either of us have a job that is on the long list but both have skilled jobs. I work within the NHS health service, a non clinical role. Strategic Development and Capital Planning. Have working in the NHS for 14 years.

My husband works as a senior installation manager - CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and Fire Alarms which he has done for 20+ years since leaving school as an apprentice.

Both children are of school ages 10 and 16 and both are up for the relocation.

We would love for some advice from anyone who is either going through the process or has been through it.

Look forward to hearing from you.
