So I've been seriously thinking about NZ for a while now, was filling out the application and figuring out banking and such until they changed their immigration policies about a year ago. When did you start your process? How long did it take? Is it a work visa? If so how did you find an employer willing to sponsor?

skilled migrant route. got a residence class visa before getting on the plane. My partner and I are STEM and medical so SMV seemed a good route.

Ahhh, the privileged leaving behind the many to suffer that want to leave but can't.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

do you blame them? should they stay until everyone that wants to leave can too?
a lot of people fled nazi germany before they started killing people too….
and, you can leave too… just maybe not with much money….

if i had a trans kid, i’d take them to any country that wasn’t trying to kill them…

Be warned, you're in for some price shocks. Cost of living in NZ is nuts atm. Best of luck tho, it's a solid place.
