defacto to New Zealand
anyone have ideas as to how long it will take for the visas to come through from posting to NZ house in london?
We have put the house on the market and are arranging shipping for bitsnbobs, working on the basis that the visa timeline is less than the housesale timeline.
Thoughts?

Someone has suggested about 1.5 months for NZ.
Can anyone add comment?

Thanks for that Dodsonfamily.
It seems to be the kind of timespan that is common.
So unless others can counter the 6 week view it seems we are now only going to be held back by house sales.
We have advertised the thing on the net for now. Hope to get some kind of offer before we get "forced" to go through an agent. The £6000-£10,000 we save is best spent on us, not on an estate agents holiday.
Anyone thoughts on either the visa time or the house sale by internet?
Then all that I have to do is get the old partner a teaching job in NZ

Re: defacto to New Zealand
it took 10 days for us to get our visa's back - that's 10 days from the day we posted to the day they were delivered back!
we sold through an estate agent and it took 9 weeks from going on market to getting an offer and then you've got a least 6 weeks from offer to completi9on!
