If you had skills that NZ wants you could have applied for a Work Permit which you can get for up to 3 years, with the option of extending. If you are an administrative manager you could probably have scraped in.

It really is quite difficult to get into NZ long term unless you have what they want or you have someone to sponsor you.

If you are married to someone that lives in NZ can you stay longer? what if you marry them after you move there?

My situation is that I was going to move to NZ because I was going to get married and then after 3 years we were going to move.
