I'm new!
 

OK, rubbish thread title, but I am new (well, to this forum at least).

Approaching 5 years in NZ (Welly) and looking forward to applying for citizenship soon. All got me thinking about when we moved out here and how usefull folk on these forums were - thought I would see if I could lend any advise now I am 'on the other side' :)

:DHi Matt. 5 years in! Has it flown past? Welcome to the forum.

Re: I'm new!
 

Hi Matt & a very warm welcome to our cosy NZ forum. It will be good to have your input :thumbup:.

We got our citizenship last September, it's a special day :)

Hi Matt, We hit the 5 year mark this month & are also in Wellington :)

Re: I'm new!
 

Thanks everyone :-)

I've read here and in a few other places how much people enjoy the citizenship ceremony. Looking forward to it even more.

We hit 5 years in September this year. I have to admit I'm a little confused about when exactly the five years is up. Yes, the 5th anniversary is the obvious answer, but given you only have to be in the country a certain number of days each year could you technically qualify after that number of days in the last year... I suspect not - I should stop pondering and just wait.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome :-)
