UK to NZ - September 2012
 
So it's time to get September's arrival list on the go :cool:

As per usual, may I have your leaving date from the UK (or elsewhere, if you're coming here from somewhere else in the world), your arrival date in NZ & where you plan to live in New Zealand.

Cheers :beer:

Hi all, my partner (Stacey) and I (Mike) will be leaving the UK on the 17th September to arrive Auckland on the 18th. I plan to live very centrally, around Victoria Street West. Very much looking forward to the move.

I have a position secured with a large construction firm as a Commercial Manager; as a result I have the VISA application underway through the essential skills route.

My partner is a financial accountant but has yet to secure a position and will be looking in due course. Any hints in this department is appreciated.

Hope everyone is well, and look forward to speaking to you all

Hello & welcome to our NZ forums Mike. I see that you are finding your way around. You might like to use the <search> function at the top of the page about accountancy in NZ or failing that, start a new thread in the main forum.

So let's get this show on the road:thumbup:

Hi
My family (kiwi husband and 2 girls aged 1 and 2) are leaving the UK on 20th September and arrive on 30th September.
I have a job in Auckland CBD (as a lawyer) and hubby will be job hunting (also a lawyer) when we get there. Failing that, he says he is going to take up surfing!
We are hoping to live in Westmere/Point Chev areas....

If we didn't have so much bloody luggage I wanted to stop over a couple days too... Although the other half would want to shop - I'm more interested in sight seeing!

Had a travel operator working on behalf of my employer and she was a bit pants and took forever to book something that suited us!

I'm on trouble on the weekends :rofl:

Hi we are new to the forum!
We are due to arrive in Christchurch, NZ by 10th September. My husband has a job offer on the essential skills list and they are desperate for him to start!
We have 2 young children, aged 4 and 3 and I'm 27 weeks pregnant!
My 4 year old has Down Syndrome, has anyone experienced issues in NZ regarding children with additional needs?? I would be very interested to know!

Husband and I leave UK on 26 September - arrive in Auckland on 28 September.

Going to live in Tauranga. Parent Visa - permanent residency granted. Retired from NHS - zzzzzzzz - we have forgotten what are two children and 5 grandchildren look like but soon we will remember as they all live in Tauranga.

Applied for visa in 2007 - took two years to sell our house and have just sold it - we are nearly at the winning post - scared, excited and so very, very happy! :thumbsup:
