Moving to New Zealand from Australia Sun. 7/5/2020
Are you an Australian citizens who dreams of moving to New Zealand in search of greener pastures? In an idyllic time, supposing we are in the pre or post-pandemic era, there is a range of opportunities you can take advantage of as a resident of NZ's "Tasman cousin."
Perks of Moving to NZ if You're a Citizen/Permanent Resident from Australia
Below we enumerate these opportunities: 1. If you're a citizen or permanent resident of Australia, no need to apply for Visa when relocating to New Zealand. You will be given a Visa on Arrival upon arrival at the border. 2. It is easy to settle down in NZ, since language barrier is not an issue. 3. Australia shares several cultural similarities with NZ, so blending in with the Kiwi society will come naturally for many Aussies. Culture shock may be out of the question. 4. Living in New Zealand is relatively more affordable than in Australia. 5. NZ has world-class universities and academic institutions, some of which are free. 6. The government and private firms subsidise programs that help people save for their retirement (called KiwiSaver). 7. KiwiSaver accounts were also designed to boost the savings of working individuals. 8. Healthcare in New Zealand is subsidised (requires PHO registration). According to the government website, Australian citizens and permanent residents "are eligible for the full range of publicly funded health care, provided you can demonstrate an intention to stay in New Zealand for at least two years continually." https://penzu.com/journals/22856561/55048149
