Golly, lots of costs other than the application fees. I can't recall off the top of my noggin what we paid for the EOI - perhaps $200US? We will submit our Application for Residence (aka ITA) tomorrow. NZIS wants ?520 for that, plus a Migrant Levy of ?115 per person. The Levy will be charged only if they issue the visas, I believe. Who knows what Fed Ex will want to ship it to London from the US.

Then there are passports, medical exams & X-rays, police check, acquiring certified or original copies of birth certificates, etc. We paid a total of $30US each for fingerprinting and police check request. Then there's the cost of untold gallons of G&Ts we drank to unwind . :icon_wink:

We are also taking two cats, who have so far had their rabies titre, though I don't think those in the UK need to worry about that, lucky people that you are. But just for the curious, I think I paid about $150, which included vet visit, shipping to the lab and lab costs.

I'm nowhere near knowing what it will cost us to make the move itself, but anticipate spending a bit on that. I really should be entering all this in a ledger!

I hope that helps.
