Points to get into New Zealand

I have just checked the immigration site to immigrate into New Zealand and at the time of writing the minimum points required are 100, and going through a quick check on the website I have come up with a score of 115. I have also checked more job websites in New Zealand, and Electricians are needed. The only drawback is the fees that have to be paid for the various stages of the process,which is not cheap.!!!

Just a few photos around New Zealand

A little bit further in New Zealand.

When I have looked on the immigration site one of the first things I looked at was do they require my trade, being an electrician I quickly established that this is a trade that was in short supply and New Zealand is a country needing electricians.
This can be found out on the immigration site and is pretty straight forward to find out if you can be a skilled migrant and checking if an area of New Zealand has a skills shortage. One other thing I did check before I went any further was to see if I had enough points to apply for immigration, the system they use is that you have to have a certain amount of points via a questionnaire before proceeding, I passed that bit.

A bit more about New Zealand

New Zealand is a country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two large islands (the North Island and the South Island) and numerous smaller islands, most notably Stewart Island/Rakiura and the Chatham Islands. In Māori, New Zealand has come to be known as Aotearoa, which is usually translated into English as The Land of the Long White Cloud. The Realm of New Zealand also includes the Cook Islands and Niue, which are self-governing but in free association; Tokelau; and the Ross Dependency (New Zealand's territorial claim in Antarctica).

New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation, being separated from Australia to the northwest by the Tasman Sea, approximately 2000 kilometres (1250 miles) across. Its closest neighbours to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga.

The population is mostly of European descent, with the indigenous Māori being the largest minority. Non-Māori Polynesian and Asian people are also significant minorities, especially in the cities. Elizabeth II, as the Queen of New Zealand, is the Head of State and, in her absence, is represented by a non-partisan Governor-General.This is taken from Wikipedia
