Visas
Hi all, myself and my husband are looking to spend a year in Hamilton. He is a self employed builder with a business of ten years in the UK and I am an insurance underwriter. We have 2 children who are 5 and 2 and we are 28. My question is could we have a working holiday visa with the children or does anyone know where we can speak to someone to get official advice on which visa would suit us best. Many thanks

Re: Visas
Builder is on three lists -
insurance underwriter is on the list of skilled occupations so you could get a visa from that if you have at least 3 years work experience.
go onto the Immigration site and work through the processes.
https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...BR&applying=co
scroll down to the points calculator and aim for +160. if not 160 you will need a job offer.
