Hi all, great forum. This is my first post please be gentle with me..
I have been offered a job in Queenstown, I have done the points test and seem to be able to get enough points for a working visa. I am a British citizen but have lived in Laos for the past 11 years. My wife is Laotian and we have 2 kids 6 and 1 years old. My wife seems to be able to qualify for an entrepreneur visa once we have sold all our assets in Laos. My question is this. Should I
1: apply for my visa, if successful, move to NZ alone and start work then apply for my wife's visa from NZ.
2: Apply for both visas from here in Laos then make the move out there together (if successful)
I have a thousand and 1 questions I need to ask and will be searching the forum in the next few weeks/ months to find some answers.
Thanks for any advice anyone may have.
