Well, I hope you know where that is, since I met a lot of Italians and Austrians who think that we are somewhere in France :laugh

I've started thinking to move to NZ already a couple of years ago, but since I haven't finished my college at that time I "postponed" my idea. Points indicator wasn't too promising. It looks fine now, but while reading your posts I became a bit :uhoh You would probably say as "There's no such thing as free lunch"...

Why did I choose NZ? Hmm, it seems there a only a few countries in the world that offer beautiful mountains, lakes and sea. And I suppose living without mountains would not worth it for me. But I cannot imagine to work such a IT job in such a system as it is here for another 30 years until I can retire without any savings.

People here often think that I want to move, because I want to become rich there in NZ, but this is not the reason. I would only like to have a decent job (later in agriculture business if possible) with system which works (medical, educative, etc), let's say that I know what I am paying taxes for, less stressful and in a community which is not crazy for status simbols as new cars and expensive houses. I would also like to offer more promising future to my 2 kids what is not the matter here in SLO.

I did my first step yesterday with submitting a pre-assesment of my bachelor(diploma) to NZQA, I suppose it is better to be clear with points, before giving away next 200 EUR.

In fact I hesitate between two or three options:
- safer one: do everything "by the book", EOI->ITA->... which one may cost a fortune without result, especially when NZ as dreamland does not exist :laugh (just kidding) My primary goal is set to live there for an year or so. After that I would decide staying there and sell my property here in SLO.
- adventures one: go in NZ with passport (90 days as tourist), search for a job there and apply for a work permit. Do NZ employers consider you as a candidate if you are looking for a work without PR or WP. I saw that you cannot apply via e-mail but you should look more serious when you come on- site
- combination of both which would probably include two visits, first one alone to perform some interviews and receive a job offer if possible although I don't know how much does such guarantee for points worths? After that I would proceed with applying for PR.

Problem is with 2 dependent children (primary school) where they are probably not entitled to free school if I am on work permit. In that case, option 2 may be too adventurous :confused:

Wau, I am surprised you know Lasko :D

Will bring some cans with me, if the NZ customs won't take them. Green goat rules :D
