work to residence visa
 
Hi, just wondering if anyone could give me advise on the visa process time. I have a job offer in Wellington and have send my visa application off two days ago. Just wondering if anyone knows when they ( the london branch) will let you know when they are working on the visa. And if anyone has any idea on how long it takes.

well then you have loads of choices. I personally say get a serviced appt short term then have a look round the area's outside, if thats what you want, dependant on travel time and life style. be it being closer to the sea or hills, semi rural, rural or in the thick of things before committing to longer term rentals

I think the closest one is New World on Chaffers, near Te Papa, or Moore Wilsons on Tory Street, but MW is a bit more expensive. There's plenty of dairies around there. There's a New World Metro on Willis Street, not took far away. (I seem to know a lot about supermarkets :o )
