I'm a writer who earns a regular income from books published in the UK. My partner and I would like to spend a few years living in NZ on my earnings (I would continue to write for British publishers), although my partner (a web designer) would like to be able to work while we're there. We wouldn't be a burden on the state and would be net contributors to the economy - does anyone know if this is likely to be enough to allow us to stay in NZ? Any advice greatfully received.
