Thread: Kiwi Working Visa

Being a brit I am entitled to go and work in Kiwi land on one of those under thirty working visa things.

I used my one up for Australia already.

I am curious to know if I applied for one again in the UK could I then take the missus as a dependant and go and live the good life over there for a while?

Any ideas?

Not sure.Give the twats at the NZ Embassy/Immigration dept a call first.Are you married or have you been in the relationship for more than two years? Did your missus prev get a visa for Oz?

Hey! they aren't so bad at that embassy, bout 18 months ago got visa's for Mum and the kids, nice people and easy enough process. We took the maid as well, bit more difficult for her but as The NZ ambassador and I are old sheepos from way back, a bit of name dropping and hey! done already. Will put in aword for Mrs Q tho', don't want that type polluting our fair and pristine land do we?

Being mates with the noise, will go along way.You should have seen one of the big buggers jump when I name dropped a major political figure in NZ.The responce was just magic.

what a load of crap...in my experience kiwis are amongst the least affected by 'name-dropping'..

guess it was win-stoned-peters that you quoted!!

"You know when you've been in Thailand too long..." when you think cronyism is a GOOD thing.

i dont think they'd mind his missus there so much as letting him into the country

No, it is not a load of crap.We are talking about public servants here, not humans.The are all the same world wide .

The Kiwi embassy is the best of all the English speaking countries in Bangkok IME.

MrsQ, a mate of mine works in the consular service there. Let me know if you want me to rough him up a bit and/or ask him some questions on your behalf.

You hit the nail on the head there.Top people in the Embassy.Easy to deal with and very helpfull.


Wish I could say that for the staff the NZ Immigration had in their office in the past...a few got tinged for holding their hand out....

Okay..care to clarify this remark cause it runs contrary to anything I have experienced with the NZ Embassy in the 10 years I've been here..

when you say 'one of the big buggers' are you referring to someone in the embassy here or to someone in NZ?

If here, I stand by my original statement and say again : utter bullshit!
