Hi Dawn, hopefully we will soon be able to let you know how easy it is to find work while on a visitors visa, as we are heading off a week on Saturday on just such a visa! :icon_eek: can't believe its come round so quickly, and Mr Moo and I are just starting to hit that "OMG What are we doing?" stage - Mr Moo has a couple of interviews lined up now for mid June in wellington - agencies were much more receptive to him when we contacted them in the last couple of weeks with all our itinerary details - he's also had a couple of phone interviews with agencies who are now putting him forward for particular vacancies so fingers crossed something will come from one of them!! Then we have all the fun of applying for the work permit and then for residency - eeeek!! Its all getting TOOOO real now!! But its going to be a great adventure and if we back out now, we will kick ourselves for ever I'm sure....
