Hello from Bournemouth ,

We are new to this forum and would like to contribute and ask for advice regarding our NZ Immigration.
Not sure if we are going to apply from the UK for the "Skilled Migration Visa" or take the plunge and send OH over there to secure a job first.

If we were to go to NZ on a visitor Visa and then "Work to residence" would our children and me (without a job) and OH (with a job and work permit) be eligible to receive free Medical care and free schooling?

Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you for your time.
Kind Regards
Steffi

Hi Steffi

If you come over or get a WTR visa you do not have to pay school fees and pay normal medical fees if you visit the doctors and not tourist fees

We came over on WTR and came from Bournemouth as well so where in exactly the same boat hehe

Good luck

Thank you for you quick reply.
Sounds good to me.
It looks like WTR is the best and quickest way for us.
What a small world, hey?
We are from Southbourne and are hoping to be in the Auckland area before Jan 09......
