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
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.

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.

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

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!
Welcome along to BE and happy posting.
