geting residense
 

i am going to newzealand on the 28th, i have a job there and i have 2 kids and a wife, i am 29 and 30 in july, my wife is same age and 30 in october, i have heard it is alot easier to get residence if your under 30 is this true? i have stared my residence and been picket out the migrant pool, what do you think my chances are?:confused:

Re: geting residense
 

There are a number of factors but given that you have a job in New Zealand and have been selected from the pool your chances should be good.

I'd say almost guaranteed you have the job offer, one assumes from an accredited employer, subject to police checks and medicals what can go wrong??

Re: geting residense
 

...ah but how many threads have we read where medicals have been a problem?

I assume you got a job offer subject to a work visa, which I assume you have right? If you do you can (and should) re-use the medicals and police checks. It'll save you money and remove those barriers...

...or did you accept a job without a work visa? :confused:

just being 30 isn't a problem. you fall into a different age bracket so you get less points I think - but not much less - plus with a job offer it will be a drop in the ocean I think - job offer gets you lots of points (provided it complies to the requirements for the visa).
