Driving license cost plus other questions

[oskanaan]

Hi everyone, I was having a look at the following page in nzta website about the cost of getting a driving license


http://www.nzta.govt.nz/licence/photo/fees-refunds.html


I wanted to know what other costs do I have to pay, such as the cost i have to pay per hour for a trainer, how many hours do you need if there is something standard? how much time does it take to get a license?


I have another unrelated question which is I got a residence visa for me and my family, I am the primary applicant, can my wife apply for work ?


Thanks

How to get your driver licence - see here: http://www.nzta.govt.nz/licence/gett...r-licence.html

The length it takes depends on your personal situation and choice. You don't necessarily need a professional driving instructor; e.g. I taught our daughter (which is not an option where we were from).

I have another unrelated question which is I got a residence visa for me and my family, I am the primary applicant, can my wife apply for work ?

I suggest strongly to open a separate thread on this.

I presume your wife has a Residence visa in her passport, with the same wording as yours, as you went through the Skilled Migrant scheme? If that's the case, yes, your wife can work, or study, or start a business, or be a housewife, exactly as she wishes.
