The final piece of the puzzle
 

Well we have been here in NZ and Dunedin for well over 4 years and now we have just filled in out applications for Citizenship, cost for adult is $460 and child is $290 and you still have to buy passports:confused: oh well its the last piece of the puzzle for us, and as our UK ones are running out , its a good time to get Kiwi ones, they recon it should take a few weeks or a few months.

You would have thought it would be cheaper !!! and then on top of that you got passports and they are around $400 each arrgghh, oh well you only live once and we get dual nationality, and the best passports in the world :thumbup:

How long do the $400 passports last? Are the childrens passports the same? 'price and validity'

just curious x

Re: The final piece of the puzzle
 

We gained our citizenship lastMarch but we haven't yet sent in for our NZ passports.
According to the forms the standard cost for an NZ passport is $150 each for an adult and $80 for a child. The passports last 5 years.

I think I'd keep up the UK Passports. Not too many people can have dual nationality, and it'll give you the right of unlimited access to live and work in the EU and Oz and Nz..which might be a big advantage later on... especially for your children ..:thumbup:

Re: The final piece of the puzzle
 

See i thought they were $400 EACH :eek:
Never was right bright :thumbdown:

Re: The final piece of the puzzle
 

Sorry must have added them together lol , it'll all be worth it in the end, might renew the British ones as well.

Hi there, sorry to jump into your thread! I hope its ok. I have recently moved to dunedin, i.e 2 days ago and have a three year old who is very keen to find places to meet new friends! I am hoping that this might be the way to find out? I would really appreciate any suggestions!

Hi there.

You may do better to start a new thread as there are a few people on this board who live in Dunedin.

Hi NaoR,

I would suggest you start a thread in the Introductions sub-forum and perhaps a Meet Up's one in the (funnily enough ... ) Meet Up's sub-forum!:D

Welcome along to BE and happy posting.:thumbsup:
