Don't know much about NZ immigration criteria but i reckon would be very much similar to the Aus setting. Either you start your own business (Milk Bar, restaurants, despatch co etc. ) or merely live off the government pension schemes. You won't starve by just living off the government. You still can have a family, own a house, drive a car...every thursday nite venture up to casino for a quick hand. As for seeking employment..... that is my ans.

Yes. I know of Kiwi friends who want to leave and they worked in Australia instead. NZ's economy not that great. Taxes also high.

Visited the South Island and I believe the climate just a little colder than my liking for permanent stay/migration (although they like tourists alot)

[Good-Carbuyer]

Your matured wisdom demonstrated

[Soya]

agree. why uproot from homeground advantage to become 3rd class citizen in a second tier country?

 

 

[Hosaybo]

Singapore becoming a playground for the rich.

[Trex101]

In Spore, Elite = 1st class citizen, PR = 2nd Class citizen, Peasant = 3rd class, so from 3rd class citizen to 3rd citizen still ok mah.

[Sosaria]

If you plan to migrate to NZ don't expect a comfy job like what you're doing here now in singapore. Just take up a job to get a regular income. It's probably okay because cost of living is lower, but have to lower standards a bit of course.

 

It's the lifestyle change and great outdoors that you should be valuing, if you're thinking of moving to NZ. If you're still emphasizing condo, car, big job, etc. then better stay in singapore.

 

Usually when a country actively looks for immigrants then it's a sign that their own people are leaving (probably this is NZ's case), or not producing enough and with growing ageing population (like singapore).

Yes, won't starve on unemployment benefits, as for the drive a car, maybe a beat-up abandoned one, and u just drive to the supermarket (petrol expensive there), and the ability to go casino, that's if using money saved up before getting unemployment benefits. That's a great way to live? LOL

Which is why I was saying for those who are thinking of migrating to NZ, go for the right reasons. Only if you value the wide open space and low cost of living lifestyle in the more rural areas.

 

If you still think about and value material needs highly, then better don't migrate.

[Greatbirdlegend]

Wonderful place to visit and take a break from city living.

Personally would not want to live and work there.
