Thinking about emigrating to New Zealand?

How to avoid your dream of moving to New Zealand turning into a nightmare

You won't find this information anywhere else

You’re probably considering emigrating to New Zealand because the country is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the world based on, quality of life, cost of living, culture, climate, environment, personal safety and health.

Only the select few will be allowed into the country
But moving to New Zealand can be very difficult. Immigration authorities have strict entry criteria, that can appear bureaucratic, confusing and at times, inconsistent. Many people who have experienced the immigration process, describe it as stressful, traumatic and very expensive. Immigration enforce policy in a way that can feel brutal, and just recently the government announced changes to immigration policy that will make it even harder for you to live in NZ.

The failure rate for visa and residency applications is high
It’s so easy to get it wrong, a simple mistake can see you being declined by immigration New Zealand and the cost of applying can run into thousands of dollars. It is imperative that you get advice. Unfortunately there’s a whole industry around advising migrants and there are too many people offering bad advice and charging a lot of money for it.

You won’t find this information on Google
In case you’re thinking, “I’ll search Google and join NZ forums, before I make a decision”. That’s exactly what I did, but a lot of the information I found and the advice given, was contradictory. It seemed that many official NZ websites only gave you the good news. Describing New Zealand as a south pacific paradise.
You already know NZ is a wonderful country but you need all the facts, insider information, information some companies would rather you didn’t know, after all they don’t want to put you off and there are fat consulting fees to be considered. But before you make any decisions, you deserve to know the truth, the good, the bad and the ugly about life in NZ.

The secret to success
The best thing you could do before emigrating to New Zealand is...
come to NZ for at least a month. Travel around, meet expert advisers and get them to tell you how to find a job, gain residency, find a home in the best locations, find the best schools, and all the other things you need to be sure of before committing your family to the challenge of leaving your home country, family and friends for a new life on the other side of the world.
Assuming you could take a month off work or out of your business, this trip would cost tens of thousands of $. If you’re lucky enough to have friends or family in New Zealand already, then perhaps they could research for you, assuming of course they can gain access to the relevant experts and advisers.

Like having a friend on the inside
The Insider’s Guide website is like having a ‘friend’ working on your behalf. We can give you all the ‘insider’ information you need to make moving to New Zealand easier and certainly less stressful.

How to get a job, How to achieve residency, where to live and finally the truth about living in New Zealand. To see what we cover in detail, click here.
The information is constantly updated and the cost of membership is low, compared to relocation experts, who charge many hundred’s of $ for just a fraction of what you’ll discover about New Zealand as a member of Insider’s Guide.

Do you have what it takes?
One thing that must be said is, emigrating is not for the dreamers, it’s for those who take action, and not just talk about it. Only people that have the courage, desire and determination to start a new life in New Zealand, should apply.
