Moving to New Zealand
Hi everyone, we are looking at emigrating to New Zealand within 18 months, my other half has got a job that he can go to but we are a bit confused about the visas, we thought we could all come over on his sponsored visa but have since learned this isn't the case, the rest of the family have to apply for our own visa, can anyone give us any advice as the paperwork is giving my a headache

Re: Moving to New Zealand
Hi, we have just moved to NZ after an 18 month journey. My partner applied under the skilled migrant category as an electrician. He got all of his qualifications approved by EWRB in Wellington and then looked for a job. Found a job got the police checks and we all have permanent residents visas with him as the main applicant.
Is this any help? Feel free to ask questions.
Cheers

As this forum is purely for new members to introduce themselves you would be best to post your questions and information in one of our NZ forums.
If you follow the link below it will take you to the main index page of the NZ forums. At the top of the page you will see a link to the NZ Immigration Forum...all questions regarding visas should be posted in that forum. General questions about NZ should be posted in the Main NZ forum. The Sheep Dip forum is for chit chat.

Once again welcome.
