Thinking about moving to New Zealand?

Over the past year New Zealand has seen a surge in visa interest. It is now, even more than before, one of the main expat destinations for anyone looking to relocate abroad. With so many benefits, it’s easy to see why New Zealand is such a popular choice.

The great outdoors

A third of New Zealand is made up of national parks, meaning there is plenty of opportunity to explore. For example, Tongariro, New Zealand’s oldest national park, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its cultural and natural importance. There are also plenty of spots to hike, cycle or even ski in New Zealand, such as Mt Ruapehu, where you can ski over an active volcano!

Great education opportunities

Anyone relocating to New Zealand with children can be assured they continue to receive an excellent education. All eight of New Zealand’s universities were in the top 500 QS World University Rankings 2015/16, with over half in the top 250. You can also be certain that you will be raising them in a safe country, New Zealand was ranked the fourth safest country in the world in the 2016 Global Peace Index.

A great capital city

In comparison to most capital cities of a similar size, you may be surprised to know that there is significantly less congestion in Wellington. This will have a major impact on the quality of life the city can provide to anyone looking to emigrate. There are no crowded communities, low pollution and a low crime rate currently.
