Hello,

I am looking to migrate to New Zealand next year. I have been doing some reading and apparently i have 160 points which means i could try out for EOI to migrate to new zealand.

Main reasons for new zealand is im looking for a more peaceful place to live in. I kinda like the weather forecast there 30 degree C max with min 1 degree c during winter. Some of my friends who went there and came back from a holiday say its an amazing place especially if you are a mother nature lover.

problem is i do not have any job offer from NZ. So, if i read the terms correctly, i could apply for a working visa there but it would only last me 6mnths with a probability of 3 months extension. Im an electrical engineer graduate with a masters degree from uk. Would it be difficult for a foreigner like me to get a job in NZ? anyone here mind sharing your experience and feedback?

thanks smile.gif

Your degree from UK would help you a lot. Which island are you going to choose? You'd have more working chances if you choose North island though.

Also, there are a lot of ways that you can "move" slowly in there. Student visa, enrol in a Masters program or something. Or working visa, go there, find an employer then slowly work things out.
