LIVING IN NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand is a new and vibrant land with awesome landscapes, lush forests, amazing wildlife and pleasant climate. Known to the Mauri as Aotearoa, "the land of the long white cloud", New Zealand is diverse, sophisticated and multicultural.

From being a producer of such international film successes as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy to consistently producing award winning wine vintages that are sought after internationally, New Zealand is a fertile ground for new ideas.

Its growing economy is characterized by a willingness to innovate, adapt, and try new ideas. As a result New Zealand offers different types of diverse work opportunities often calling for broadly-based skills rather than narrow specialisation.

Boasting an open and expansive lifestyle, New Zealand has a thriving cultural life, with a unique mix of traditions. With a firm belief in social equality, New Zealanders have access to a range of affordable social activities.

The range of outdoor activities available in New Zealand is huge and within less than a twenty-minute drive, even New Zealanders living in the major cities have easy access to the open and unspoilt countryside.

As the youngest country on earth, immigration is important to New Zealand and it welcomes committed migrants from across the globe, who bring skills, diversity, and colour to this young nation.
