Default Re: Oz To New Zealand

The spiders are big but (in Melbourne) I have not seen too many bigger than the normal UK ones.

As to NZ- we went for a trip over Christmas and yesterday I noticed my UK passport had a stamp with 'indefinite leave to remain', which must be because we have Aussie PR- so it looks like you can zip over to NZ. However I am not verly thrilled with NZ as a place to live- wonderful to visit, but it seemed expensive and a bit too sleepy for me.

Yes in most cases - but people who who try to 'hop' between Australia and NZ without citizenship can end up with no status in either country and no option other than to go home.

If you become Australian citizens you can live freely in New Zealand.

Does your stay in NZ count towards NZ citizenship with PR in OZ ? (don't intend to do it but just wondered).

Don't know for sure, but you can check at http://www.citizenship.govt.nz
It's now 5 years to get NZ citizenship.

And remember that NZ citizenship no longer gives permanent residence in Australia - only indefinite stay as a temporary resident. http://www.nz-oz.gov.au

If you get your Australian citizenship first, unless the law changes New Zealand will still be there in a few years time.

Thanks for that we can't go to NZ as there is no work for Ian there but it would have been our first choice so it is interesting.

Spiders here are absolutely massive & out of control. Go to NZ.
