Kia Ora Tracey,
I sent a reply to you question on the Board about houses in Wairoa a while ago and having revisited the same board, I couldn't help but notice that you say that you're from Derbyshire. Coincidence or what, I'm from Uttoxeter and heading out to
NZ on Feb 19th with Jeanett (my other half). We're desperately trying to get all the Immigration stuff done to get settled in the Hastings are of Hawkes Bay but the main stumbling block has been getting a 'permanent job offer in writing' to give to NZI, so that's the purpose of this current trip to
NZ before we return to the UK to sell the house and then finally move to
NZ.
It would seem that there's plenty of people from the UK in the process of trying to relocate to
NZ but as we're all well aware, it's not easy to break through the beaurocratic red-tape to get the necessary stamp in your passport. Well, I sincerely hope that all your hopes and dreams are realised in
NZ and that you get the residency that you're obviously looking for. Take care, bye for now,
Mark :-)
