what do you mean moving there?


As a visitor you can ONLY stay for 3 months.


Have you applied for permanent residency?


I'll guess and say no.


Which means that after 3 months visit you MUST leave or you will be an illegal in NZ.





Also, if you remember your geography, July in NZ is the winter - do you realise that? It will be cold - depending on where you live.





Do you have any of the following skills?





We need skilled people for the following types of work. Choose your industry to find more on qualifications, registration requirements and profiles of migrants working in your field.





Engineering


Teaching


Biotechnology


Construction


Creative New Zealand


Healthcare

As you can tell, I dislike NZ being overrun by Americans. They belong in USA, NOT in Godzone. I am a Kiwi.
