Hello to everyone who is in NZ or going there!
))
Im new on this forum,Im trying to find out more about that Migration program.Me and my husband originally from Ukraine,live in USA last 6-7 years; Both educated,and want to move to NZ! I would love to know:
1) Life in NZ same as in Europe or USA?I mean life style,culture,people?
No completely different to USA and not sure about UK as I have not been there in 22 yrs but NZ is a completely different country with different culture etc. Much slower pace of life generally then urban USA.
2)How long visa process takes after approved Express of interest?
Depends on branch you apply to and your circumstances, Our whole process took about 2 yrs but we were in no rush.
3) What kind of medical care system in NZ?
Somewhat publicly funded when you qualify for it(PR and some visas), have to pay at Dr's, for certain xrays and prescriptions. there is also private insurance if you want it.
4)HOW IS JOBS MARKET IN IT AND DENTAL PROFESSIONS?
No idea.
5)EASY TO BUILD credit score there,possible to buy HOUSE,Property?
Depends on your income, job etc. Credit does not work the same as the USA amd credit score does not follow you from the USA. We got a really good mortgage rate as first time home owners in NZ but had to bring money over for a deposit.House much smaller than those in USA.
6) Is NZ has car lease like in US?
Not sure but we bought ours outright.
7)Any grants goverment grants for education exist?
Not sure, sorry.
8) Best part of NZ to live where I can buy house?
Cannot answer that. What are you looking for? Small town or city? coast or inland?
Thank you so much!
