[quote:6a7a56e02d="joelle"]Hi Moley, :039:
Either really - personally I would complete the online EOI or at least the points indicator to give you an idea of your point score.
This could be the decider as you may have to have employment to get over 100 points.
If your accepted into NZ on a work to residence permit I believe you have 6 months to find a job. If you get a residency permit I think you have approx 2 Years. I would also check the skills shortage list as I think Electronic Engineer may be on there. From having your passport stamped you have 1 year to move over, as for the cost of applying there is a good link on NZ immigration website:
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra.../formsandfees/
If you get an Invite to Applly (ITA) you also have to pay for things like police certificates ?10, medicals - this varies over the country. Also if like me you have to get your qualification assessed that can be a few hundred ?'s. It's all worth it though. :icon_lol:
hope this helps
Joelle :024:[/quote:6a7a56e02d] Hi Joelle Thanks for the reply :icon_biggrin: We have done the points system on line and it was 140. We will send off thr EOI. We have been looking at the recruiting sites on the main immigrations web site for jobs and there have been a few on there. Do you know if my husband started to apply for these jobs would he have to go over to New Zealand for the interview or do these companies have contacts in United Kingom?? Sorry by the way are you in New Zealand??? I am assuming you are has you said it will be worth it. :icon_wink:
