Get married?

One of the family would not go along with that idea.

Sorry, your are mullered, as boys from the north like to say.

I'm afraid so. Time to emigrate? Too late.

Thanks Lucy, I would head for Auckland, not as windy or rainy as Wellington and a bit more sub tropical.

In your experience how long did it take you to find a job and get the visa (assuming you are not a Kiwi) to actually start working? With my skill set I was thinking about 2 months? I believe it to be a relatively quick process (getting the WTR visa).

Yes I´ve heard it can be isolated and far away but I don´t perceive that to be a big issue. OZ is not too far away either so that could always be a later option.

Sorry I don't know anything about the visa, I have an oz passport.

I got work within about four weeks, I wasn't trying very hard though

Acquired via residency !?

Do you know if there is any potential problem with an expired Oz passport acquired via residency. Can't be bothered renewing it as I won't be likely to use it for a good while. I assume the citizenship lasts forever but !?

Jafa is the Wellingtonian's term of endearment for Aucklanders.
