    We were thinking of moving using the skilled visa, which seems hard because we need a job offer prior to visa application. So if you have money you can just come?

    Any Kiwis here can tell me if it’s a good country to immigrate to? I will have PhD soon, and want to contribute to open access research if possible.

    So far the country looks great because we like slow life, but idk if that’s just for citizens or also for immigrants.

      Nice place, but not particularly wealthy, and everything is expensive because it’s imported. Housing is expensive too. Also there’s the tension between the Maori people and the government. And the recent shift to the right hasn’t improved anything.
