Have a look at the NZ immigration website and familiarise yourself with the different types of visa first. A lot depends on your occupation and qualifications as to how easy it will be for you to gain a permanent visa.
It's a big subject so may be better to have a read and come back with more specific questions. It may or may not be easy for you to get a visa so a little research before visiting NZ is in order so you know what you're aiming for.
You may be limited as to which visas you can apply for and may not necessarily be able to apply for permanent residence.

Hi and welcome to our wee NZ BE forum

That's OK. I don't either :p

We can try.

OK . Be aware that if you enter as a visitor , it means as A Visitor. It doesn't mean enter with the intention of trying to remain somehow, although some do use the visitors visa to try and gain job interviews. They gain a permanent job under the skilled migrant category and then apply for a temporary work permit and/or PR

It's not a conversion.

Can you be more specific please.
Do you have the funds for an investment visa? If so you should apply under that policy. Forget the visitor visa thing.

To study here requires international fees. Do you have the funds? Not sure you could bring over your family with that policy though as you need to show you can support yourselves.

How did you fund these travels please.

Nothing wrong with being married. Someone has to do it. :D


Now then.

You say you have read the official NZIs website. Have you understood the various policies and categories for livng and working in NZ please?

If not really. Then come back and ask further. We can try to help.

What is your occupation?
