Default Good Character References

Dear All

i have been trying to get my head around immigration but with all sorts of varied visas and requirements, its quite complicated.

The countries i have resided in since the age of 18 are as follows:-
UK 5+ yrs
UAE - 4 yrs
Greece - 5+ yrs

On this basis, i am assuming that would need good character references from the UK and Greece only, ifs this correct?

Any help on this would be appreciated, maybe a contact in immigration?

Thank you

Graham

Not sure if you need or not, but just ensure you have friends/relations available to supply details of your history if required. Expect the unexpected.

It always seems complicated at the outset. Really though, it's not .

Are you looking to permanently reside in New Zealand?

You don't give the dates . If for the past ten years you have resided in the UK and also Greece but the UAE was prior to the past decade, then you will need to provide police certs for Greece and the UK if making a residency application.

  • any country you’ve been in for 12 months or more in the last 10 years, whether in one or more visits.
If for a temporary work visa it would be the past 5 years.

Hi BEVS

As I understand it, my local Employer will cover Visa and relocation costs but not sure what Visa and for how long.

My profession is on the Long Term Skill Shortage List so I think my options are the following:
1. Skilled Migrant Category
2. Work to Residence
3. Residence from Work

In the past 10 years I have worked in the following countries
UK 1yr
UAE 4yrs
Greece 5yrs

Thanks

Graham
