Re: Your thoughts NZIS buffs please

Bevs - if the guy is a Kiwi, then they just need to cohabit together and prove that they are in a defacto relationship for the period of the WHV. I think 6 months is the minimum, then surely she can...

Re: Temporary Accomodation Options

Where abouts are you heading? That way people can reccommend some places.

Re: What To Do? To stay or to go?

I'm with the 'do what's right' brigade. Why hang out another three years in a mediocre job, when you could be larging it around Europe with your missus. If all works out, you may well be back on a...
