Article 1 Necessary life skills for New Zealand immigrants

First, sell things that are not used.

If packing everything seems like a daunting task, it will be much easier to sell things you don't really need or use. Selling most things before tidying up your room will not reduce your cost, but will give you a real sense of freedom. Living in the local area, only the truly irreplaceable things are kept, such as sentimental items, clothes that are not often worn, and so on.

Second, make more plans and relax.

Living in New Zealand, don't be trapped by the bills left at home. You need to make some extra plans to relax your life.

Third, ensure that the bank account is rich.

When people immigrate to New Zealand, they may not have all the documents needed to open a bank account in that country immediately. But at the same time, you still have to spend some money to live and buy things. People can withdraw cash from ATMs at any time, but it should be noted that in order to avoid paying fees, New Zealand dollars should be chosen as the currency for completing transactions. At this time, just make sure that there is money in the bank account.

Fourth, find a second-hand furniture store or other stores.

If buying a house is out of reach, people can live by renting a furnished house. If you can't find a furnished house, you can go to a second-hand shop to buy second-hand furniture. Here, people can easily use furniture at a small cost, which is very cost-effective.

Don't take your car to New Zealand.

The cost of transporting a car to New Zealand may cost thousands of New Zealand dollars or more. Once people's cars arrive in New Zealand, they will have to pay thousands of dollars in import taxes, depending on the vehicle type and its value. Therefore, immigrants should spend money on new cars in New Zealand instead of selling cars in their own countries.

6. Understand the hidden cost of buying a house in New Zealand.

If people plan to buy a house in New Zealand, they must understand the hidden costs of buying a house in New Zealand, including due diligence fees and valuation. According to New Zealand, first-time buyers may have to pay an extra NZ $30,000, which is an expense that cannot be ignored for any immigrant family.

Seven, calculate the cost of carrying pets.

New Zealand is one of the most difficult places to import pets in the world. Taking pets to New Zealand will increase the cost and process. For example, many animals, such as cats and dogs, need health certificates, import licenses and quarantine, and these expenses must be borne by the applicant.

1. I scored myself overseas on the website of the Immigration Bureau. 160 is enough. Can I immigrate?

Not that you can immigrate, but you are eligible to submit an immigration application. Whether to approve it or not is another matter. And many friends have problems when calculating scores. For example, the certification of work experience is very important. Please note here that if you don't work in a multinational company, your work experience certification may be problematic.

Second, if you find a job, is it possible to emigrate after graduation?

Yes, but your job must be on the immigration list. Your salary level and your job responsibilities should meet the standards. For example, an IT graduate found a job in IT technical support with an hourly salary of 16 NZD. Can he immigrate? In fact, the job done by this applicant meets the requirements of the Immigration Bureau, but because his salary can't meet the general requirements of the labor market for this technical job, the Immigration Bureau will refuse it on the grounds that the salary level is too low. Therefore, whether the job can be immigrated involves many issues and cannot be generalized.

3. Do I need IELTS to submit immigrants?

Immigration requires IELTS 6.5 A or G to prove your English ability when submitting an immigration application. There are several conditions that can be exempted from IELTS: bachelor degree or above and one year working experience in a New Zealand company. Or have an English learning background (most people in China can't reach it). However, it should be noted that even if you provide valid academic qualifications or work experience, if you do not perform well in the survey, the immigration officer still has the right to ask you to provide IELTS. So it is very necessary to prepare well. If the immigration officer rejects you because of your poor English, the chances of winning the appeal in the immigration court will be very low.

I am too old to be an investment immigrant. Is there a possibility of skilled migration?

First of all, the age limit for skilled immigrants in New Zealand is 55, which means that if you are over 55, then skilled immigrants will close the door to you. So if people under the age of 55 want to immigrate with skills, they will actually take the same path. It's just that the immigrant age may be less.
