If planning to move to New Zealand, you’ll enjoy warm weather, endless beaches and a refreshing out-doors lifestyle. The process of an international move can take a long time to complete. But the reward of living in your dream location will be worth the time and money invested. Here are four tips to be aware of if you are considering relocating to New Zealand. Visa’s As part of the application process for a resident's visa you are required to demonstrate that you and your family members are all in good health. You will need to have a medical examination by a doctor. For some countries the NZIS requires that such assessments are completed by pre-chosen medical professionals. Language It is important to have a good level of written and spoken English if you wish to gain residency status in New Zealand. All prospective residents are required to demonstrate their English skill or at least show that they intend to purchase English language training. Healthcare All permanent residents in New Zealand are entitled to healthcare. In addition all visitors or temporary migrants from countries who have a reciprocal agreement with the New Zealand authorities (such as Australia, Canada, Denmark, Greece, Guernsey, Ireland, Jersey, the Netherlands and the UK) are also entitle to receive state health benefits. Tenancy agreement The most common type of tenancy agreement available when living in New Zealand is a periodic tenancy that had no fixed time scale. Periodic tenancy agreements are terminated by giving three weeks written notice to the landlord. The landlord is able to end the tenancy agreement by providing six weeks written notice to the tenant.
