Re: Leaving NZ

We have been quoted $5200 for our dog......think I need to get a few more quotes!!! We have also been quoted around $10000 for a 20ft container.

We flew with Emirates via Sidney - Dubai then into Newcastle on the new airbus. $4075 for 4 adults which was a bargain. We booked through Flightcentre, they couldnt do enough for us. Really good. We would of been here 3 yrs in January, never really settled from day one. Good to be home

The original prices started from $15000 ish, so it goes to show that they are willing to knock quite a bit off. Do not go with the first price they give you. Allied did quoten us $9500 for a 20ft but it was too small.

Hi Karen, yes we were granted conditional PR but we had to stay in the country 6 months out of the year for the next 2 yrs.

As for our lovely dog, we did get him his rabies jabs but he still wasnt allowed into the UK 6 months after the initial blood test so I wasnt going to put him into quarantine for that amount of time, a lovely family took him who already have a shih-tzu. He is doing great.
