Re: Brits leaving in droves...apparently

Sorry I say free but as in it’s not an out of pocket cost at that time. Out of salary is always easier for budgeting

Re: Brits leaving in droves...apparently

Wow well that’s a change in 5 years. It was free when I left and I was mid twenties. Unless it’s NHS based cause parents didn’t say anything about prescription costs being implemented

Re: Brits leaving in droves...apparently

Prescriptions are cheaper here? 🤔 I’m $5 plus $17 repeat fee... compared to the free in the UK. I claim back on insurance so it doesn’t really matter but definitely isn’t cheaper where we are.

Re: When to apply to New Zealand citizenship

Give DIA a call and they will help you work it out. Our paperwork went in 2 days after I was eligible and my 5 year point isn’t until December this year.

Re: Why did you move to New Zealand?

I wouldn’t say we weren’t secure in the UK, I come from an incredibly close family, we owned a house with a dog, had two very secure jobs with a good income. We made a loss on the house, thanks to...

Re: Moving to NZ, what would have done differently, what are you so glad you did

Best thing we did was bring our Labrador! Not that the intention was to never take her, but we had to take the tough discussion on what if she was unable to come.

1. Why not apply?
2. Husband has to, it’s built into his contract for work. Every new contract or change at work they have to amend his one only to include “upon gaining citizenship”, so we do have...

Online IRD applications will only verify if customs have actually forwarded the information to IRD. It doesn’t mean your visa was not verified, that’s all automatic. It’s just the details not being...

Your UK employer will have to be registered with IRD, have an IRD number and be registered for PAYE if they are to deduct your tax and pay to IRD direct

Regardless of previous experience you’d likely be based at Auckland or Ohakea for avionics, Blenheim is an option but more likely as an instructor. We did the same move and partner had 10 years...

Re: Emergency mobile alert test - 26th November.
