hey there,

i am not 100% sure if they actually do a credit check, I only know that you wont get a visa if you owe the government any money, but I dont think you should have any problems.
Just make sure you have enough money, if they do ask any questions just tell them u ll pay as soon as u r in the country and that should be fine...
I had that with australia and told immigration I had a couple of phone bills outstanding, they didnt care at all.

Hope this helps

Hi there
One of my friends was in similar situation, I know for sure that INZ didnt do a credit check or cared about it.

NZ only cares about your financial history if you are or were bankrupt and are applying for a business visa. The only other financial things would be fraud etc, but obviously they are criminal acts rather than just being a bit late paying a few bills!
