I’ve watched your videos about NZ for a while and I feel really inspired to move now! Thank you so much
About the school fee donation - it is treated as a charitable donation. You can claim back 33% in tax rebate (no maximum).
Pay $100 you will get $33 straight back from the government in you apply. Any school "fee" to an educational school under the department of education qualifies - go to www.ird.govt.nz and look
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about living in new zealand, it's really helpful to me. Me and my family we'll be moving there by early March this year:) All the best for you and your beautiful family:)
How exciting! Where will you be settling? I hope everything goes well.
Yayy love these, i'll move in July, Jen, you inspired my decision a whole lot, thanks for the shared information and experience :D
How exciting! All the best with your move, I hope it all goes well.
You are so lucky to move to NZ. We have been down there twice in 2000 & 2006. We were on an antique car tours both times. Traveled all over both islands. The people were so friendly.
We absolutely love it here! Your holidays sound great.
Thanks again for doing this series. I've found it very helpful. We just got our visas to move to NZ for three years. :-)
CONGRATS!! Wow, that is so exciting! When will you make the move over?
I'd love it if you'd join my Moving to New Zealand Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/366961367030120/
Thanks! We are in Auckland now! :-) We had been waiting for visas for a bit through a couple of delays and knew we'd go as soon as they came. We arrived on 1 Mar. We'll be here until Monday and then head down to Dunedin to settle down. Thanks for the invite. I'll join the group.
hey Jen I absolutely love these videos! so so helpful. think i may do one myself. we are currently doing of visas for New Zealand and hubby lands in Auckland in March and we follow around june. cant wait x thanks for the info jen x
So exciting!!! I bet you are filled with mixed feelings. Definitely document your journey on video, it's good to look back on.
Effy - My Online Diary looking forward to v blogs
I sure will ! thanks so much for the inspiration, wish i started this years ago !!
hope you do some also justice !
Wow!
I hope you enjoy your time in NZ :)
Thanks, we are loving it here, it is paradise.
how is the infrastructure and quality of roads
I live in the Netherlands and it's an very devolped infrastructure. lots of bus and train connections and six lane highways, if there's a crack/hole in the road it gets repaird within 1 day
They're basic but in good repair, in my experience. There is not a nationwide train or bus network, although there are limited services, depending on the area.
From what Europeans (not British or Irish) who have lived there told me, roads aren't great and public transport is pretty shit. They all lived in cities in Europe, so I'm sure people in the country side would think buses and all that are great in NZ! A Dutch guy had lived in NZ for a few years before coming back to Europe and said that basically, NZ is Europe 80 years ago. But, everyone seemed to agree than the country was beautiful and people really nice! I've been asking around and binge watching UA-cam videos cause I'm going to NZ soon :)
I feel the same now , I miss all my family . Friends . And my childhood memories. But I am thinking of a better place to raise my children where they can live safe and better education.
I subbed because I am thinking of emigrating to New Zealand too
Love these video's...
Glad you enjoy them :)
Thank you so much for these videos! Is homeschooling legal in New Zealand, do you know?
Yes of course!
Thanks for all info Jen! Very very helpful. My family and I ( myself, hubby and two daughters 6yo and 2yo) are seriously thinking about moving to New Zealand and we are also going for the points to get the residence visa. If I understood it right first we get the temporary residence and after two years we can apply for the permanent one. Do you know if All the information about health, appointment with doctor and dentist are only for the people who has the permanent residency or temporary residency would apply also. Thank you
I mean everything you said about health issues
We came over on temporary residency and then applied for PR after our two years, and we had to have the medical checkup.
we recently moved from London to new Zealand if you want to see how we are getting on come over and check out our channel too :)
Moving from Johannesburg to Auckland, hoping i am making the right decision. Thanks for the information.
How exciting, all the best with your adventure! Let me know if you have any questions that haven't been answered. When do you arrive?
Why did you choose England originally? Do you think you would of moved to New Zealand instead?Also, from your Christmas vlog you had Grant's brother with you. Does he live in NZ too? How long has he been here?
Great questions, will add the first two to my next Q&A video.
Grant's brother has been in NZ since August 2015, he lives around half an hour away from us.
hi there...I've been watching some of your videos and I must thank you, they have been very informative.. I have one question. if I want to bring my 2 dogs and my parrot with me to live in nz, how would I do that? or what is the best option regarding that?
We didn't bring any pets so I'm sorry, I don't have any experience or advice. All I know is it will be very expensive and I believe they will be in quarantine for a while before they can come and live with you.
I can sort of answer this one. It will depend on a number of things as to how much it will cost and it will also depend on the breed of dogs as some breeds (such as the American pit bull) are not allowed into New Zealand. A little while ago a friend of my family moved to the UK from Sydney, Australia and took with them their 2 dogs (Lhasa Apso). They used the company JetPets and were VERY happy with the service. When we started looking into how much a move from Sydney, Australia to Wellington, NZ would cost, I made a general enquiry with JetPets as we have 3 cats who would be making the move with us. All up, it is going to cost roughly one thousand dollars per cat (yes, that's $1k AUD), so $3k all up. BUT Australia and NZ have similar quarrantine and pet vaccination laws so we get a "free pass" (so to speak) in that our pets wouldn't need to stay in quarrantine on arrival. However, if your pets are coming from anywhere else, they will need a stay in quarrantine (There are LOTS of diseases that Aust and NZ don't have, and we'd like to keep it that way. Eg: no rabies in either country). JetPets will take care of almost everything as far as paperwork is concerned, we just need to organise the pre-travel vet checks.
Honestly, find a few pet travel companies and get some general enquiry quotes.
Here is the NZ government page regarding bringing pets into NZ. It's pretty helpful. Good luck.

anyone can tell me about some interview questions with immigration officer for skilled migrant category in newzealand
I know that you won't have experience with this first hand but my family might be moving to New Zealand and I was wondering what the vegan culture is like. We are thinking of living somewhere rural and i just say you grocery haul and day lots of fruits and veggies but I was wanting to know of you had things like almond and soya milk as well as things like chia and flaxseed. Thanks anyway for these great videos keep it up 😀
Yes you can get all of those things here in the grocery stores.
A Thousand Words Thanks for the quick reply! Glad to know 😀
IS MEDICAL FREE LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE FOR CANADA/AUSTRALIA.. WHAT DO THEY SEE IF I'M IMMIGRATING FROM INDIA ON PR VISA..
WOF (Registration in Australia ) is super cheap over there, its $366 every 6 months for my little 4 cylinder.
Ouch!
I've been looking everywhere on the MPI website, and I've googled it, and can't find my answer. Does anyone know: can I take a straw bag (like market/beach bag) into NZ?
Yes, it will be fine.
A Thousand Words awesome, thank you for taking the time to answer me :)
great 😊 why you chose that area ?? rather than Auckland the big city ? Thanks...
I'll definitely talk about this in my next Q&A video, thanks for the great question :)

Hi, I have a question concerning to the "evidence of partnership":
On the official site is written:
www.immigration.govt.nz/documents/forms-and-guides/inz1105.pdf
You need to supply evidence of a genuine and stable partnership of at least 12 months with your
partner. You could show evidence of this by supplying the following.
• Marriage or civil union certificate.
• Proof of shared residence (a joint mortgage, or tenancy agreements, or rent book).
• Financial dependence or interdependence (proof of shared income, or bank accounts, or accounts
that show money transfers to or from your account to your partner’s account).
• Birth certificates of your children.
• Any evidence of public or family recognition of your relationship.
• Correspondence (including post-marked envelopes) to you and your partner at the same address.
• Photographs of you and your partner together.
• Evidence of the duration of your relationship.
• Evidence of the support of your parent(s) or guardian(s) if either of you are aged 16 or 17 years old
Do I need to supply ALL of these documents? It sounds ridiculous to ask for letters from friends for a couple who lives together for 10 years, has Marriage certificate and shared children. How does it work?
Thanks in advance!
Love your vlogs, the US should do this for new immigrants!!
Anyone can do it :)
Hi Jen, I want to move to New Zealand and managed to find a job while still being in Europe. It is a long term job working full time in a store. Is this a job that could help me get a visa?
Thank you for making these videos, they are so helpful.
Yes, any job will get you more points. You can find out more information and how many points you qualify for at immigration.govt.nz/
Thank you so much.
They have actually stopped the looking for jobs on holiday visa now as of last year.
That's interesting. I know they have tightened up all avenues of entry.
You can look for a job, but you can't accept an offer. I saw it...on the immigration website I think...can't remember, cause I'm not planning on going on a holiday visa.
Great, we are moving in August 2017. Great information.
Awesome, I hope everything goes well!
Patrick Williams also moving to new zealand! we are from ireland. best wishes x
Effy - My Online Diary, when are you going?
Patrick Williams my husband arrives in auckland in march and me and the kids will follow around June. we have a few things on here before we move! when do u guys arrive? where you moving from?
Effy - My Online Diary, we are going in August, my wife is from NZ (been in U.K. 10 years). We are going to Hastings for a few months then hope to move to Wellington after.
How many people do you know that are immigrants to New Zealand? It's interesting to me that so many people want to move there. It seems to be a beautiful and very safe place to live though.
Lisa Stalsworth According to a group my husband belongs to there are thousands of South Africans trying to immigrate to New Zealand.
We personally know 10 immigrants / immigrant families. There are a lot of immigrants from different countries here.
My husband is one lol
Hi how quick and good is the hospital services? Part time jobs available for students?
I have heard that for some operations there can be a long waiting list but we've never had any trouble with hospital services.
Part time jobs would be the same as anywhere - retail, fast food, etc :)
Thanks
Dental care is free for children until the day before/of their 18th birthday in NZ :)
Thanks, I'm wondering if this also varies from area to area.
Hi there. I wanted to chime in and let anyone who is interested about gaining employment as a teacher in NZ. My husband and I are from the US and we are working with Education Personnel Ltd (edperson.co.nz/) and they work directly with the Ministry of Education to help vet and connect teachers with schools, while also helping the teachers with the application processes involved in gaining employment and visas. The staff has been most helpful in sorting out the many details. Hopefully this information helps.
what happened to your chickens and dogs?
We chose to rehome them for various reasons, and it was heartbreaking.
Aww, I have has chickens all my life .one just died that was about 12 years old. Think she was oldest chicken around lol
I'm sorry, that's sad but like you said, what a good long life for her!
Sure was . Shes moved a fre places on her time too.keep up the videos,really look forward to them :-)
HOW IS NEW ZEALAND {E.G.: AUCKLAND} DIFFERENT FROM.: CANADA {E.G.: TORONTO., VANCOUVER} / AUSTRALIA / FINLAND / INDIA}.. HOW IS THE COUNTRY OVERALL.. SINCE I AM IN PLANNING STAGE TO IMMIGRATE.. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT WEATHER., COST OF LIVING., IS IT RACIST LIKE AUSTRALIA., JOBS PER SAY., MOVING TO NEW ZEALAND., ETC..
You rock Jen! I'm planning my exit strategy from the wretched United States. I'm a rare newly discovered natural born leader and it appears to me I'm not welcome here. Does the country welcome my breed? I would like to be a police officer like your husband to protect a country worthy of protecting. I want to raise 3 or 4 kids and find my soul mate in New Zealand because good women hardly exist in the US caused by the toxic American system. Do you know if I can seek political asylum due to the American system?
Unfortunately I don't think political asylum is an option but I do wish you all the best with your journey!
I need to know...... do you braai???
All the time! We even buy boerewors sometimes if we are near the butchery that sells it.
Im sold! Thanks for the great videos.
You quote, "Woman don't have full equality in NZ", ... WHAT! Are you kidding me ! There is total equality in NZ. The Human Rights Act protects everyone in New Zealand from discrimination on the grounds of...
> Age, gender or sexual orientation
> Marital or relationship status
> Having a family or not
> Being in a relationship with or related to a certain person
> Religious or ethical beliefs
> Colour, race, ethnicity or country of origin
> Disability, impairment or illness
> Political opinions
> Employment status
How do you explain racism then, regardless of existence of HR Act.
@@joeonkeo9663 The Human Rights Act legally protects everyone in New Zealand from discrimination. However a legal Act can never change the personal prejudices of some individuals.
ssssshhhhh don't tell them all or they all want to come down here :P
That's how a lot of us in America think, love your immigrantion policy
yeeeeeah that not quite what i meant was more of a humor thing than a immigration policy i more of like when you have a nice quite cafe that's really nice an then suddenly everyone finds out about it and then the developers move in and the real estate prices sky rocket and in the end you wish you had kept your mouth shut but such is progress not so much of a "keep out foreigners" more a "ok ok ok so you found out but just don't tell anyone else kay"...something that the nz tourism board ISN'T helping with..
put another way i don't mind whose living here but can we just keep the pop under 5 mill im not saying death lottery but maybe we could work out a time share sort of thing ? :)
I didn't take your comment as a bad comment, understand developer👌😜
ah sorry my bad :)
New Zealand has a large Christian and Pagan religion. Are the Americans going to go there and make fun of that?
