Migrating to New Zealand

Only two months to wait and we are off to New Zealand. Robert and I will migrate there and settle in for good. I still wait to have confirmation of the visa. It should be a no brainer case: married to a kiwi for two years, PhD with experience lecturing in good universities, self-trained in software development and e-learning over the last two years. Health checks, certificates of good conducts, recent passport have all been obtained weeks ago. Hopefully, this shouldn’t be too long anymore before I obtain it.

It’s time to start looking for a job there. Some of the websites recommended in a leaflet “new start, new opportunities, New Zealand” provides the following links:

Then, once there, we should start looking for a home to buy. The great news is that prices are way lower than in Edinburgh where we live now. In Edinburgh (Scotland, UK), you can at best find a small apartment in a not great location for £100.000. It seems that you can find a 4 bedrooms house with garden for that amount in NZ. Well, we will have to go and check that out.
