Immigration & Settlement DVD

“Go New Zealand is a 2 disc DVD set that provides all the need-to-know information about moving to & living in New Zealand. Created by New Zealand immigrants, Melanie & Brian Radke, Go New Zealand is 120 minutes of high quality video about New Zealand, visas, healthcare, employment, banking, housing, education, what to do for fun & more.

Get valuable information straight from Immigration New Zealand, Inland Revenue & other New Zealand experts. Hear from immigrants from all over the world, who have already made the move, talking about their experiences: bringing a pet, finding a job, settling in and more. Go New Zealand offers an audio visual experience of what it’s really like to move to and live in New Zealand.”

Yes. I am curious about it.

Expats in New Zealand

I love to read about other people’s experiences. What’s everyday life like, after the great adventure of immigration? Are they happy with their new lifes? Which expectations turn out to be wrong and which unexpected possibilities come up? How do you feel when friends and family are far away and what’s the Kiwi way of friendship? A list of expat blogs.

What’s everyday life in New Zealand like?

Who has to pay which application and registration fees?

There’s an Office and fees finder on the Immigration New Zealand website and you can also download a Fees Guide PDF. The leaflet will “give you information on the fees that Immigration New Zealand charges for processing your application/ registration, who has to pay fees, and how you can pay”.
