Advice sought on bringing mum to NZ!
Hi everyone
I have been in NZ eight years and have permanent residency. My mum who is 67 is still living alone in Somerset is now considering moving out here to be with my family (Kiwi wife and two NZ born sons) and I. I am therefore writing this post with a view to getting information as to what I would need to do to bring mum out here, for advice on the process and any pitfalls, the costs, info about transferring a UK pension to NZ and anything else people might know from past experience of this process.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who might take the time to reply!

Re: Advice sought on bringing mum to NZ!
Best place to start would be Immigration website
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...nt/default.htm
There are two Tiers
Tier one can take up to 6mths
Criteria http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra.../eoi/tier1.htm
Tier two can take up to 7 years
Criteria
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra.../eoi/tier2.htm
There is also the retirement visa but you need lots of money
