Latio2005A Turbocharged October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Tks Darryn (spelt wrongly earlier post - sorlie). Travelling out of NZ is far, agree. But it will likely be once or twice a year affair so I prob can bear with it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedbs Turbocharged October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Do your research. Sometimes if you go and work or study there first, you can get higher points or a better chance of PR. During wifey time, having a New Zealand degree was worth a few points, and then if you had worked after your degree in a related field for 2 years that was worth another few points. I tried the "points indicator" on the nz immigration website and got 165 points... . But just an indicator only..... Bascially one need to get at least 100 points to be considered under the skill migrant route. If you get above 140 points, you will be almost "automatic" to get a place.

TVT Supercharged October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Is the GST still at 12.5% in NZ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Turbocharged October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Is the GST still at 12.5% in NZ? Not sure....I been here for 12 years now, so may have changed since I was last up to date... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVT Supercharged October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Just a few points. What you can however say is that when we look at other places (intially, like when touring), we usually think only of the nice parts, only when you lived there (long enough), then you will see the bad part. You could (or not) like the place more than Singapore, or you deem easy access to local delights, & warm weather, beach etc more important for instance. This part is very true!

TVT Supercharged October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 R there still 2 main political parties there....and election is once-every 3 years? Winston Peters still around? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Turbocharged October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 R there still 2 main political parties there....and election is once-every 3 years? Winston Peters still around? Winny is still around, the damn xenophobic muck raker. Now much much more than two parties. Is Proportional representation in NZ, so parties get seats in proportion of their votes. We also have a Sikh in parliament, there has also be a transexual mayor in NZ before, and they have legalised gay marriage. Quite a progressive country.
