migrant settlement strategy
The New Zealand Government wants migrants to settle well and feel at home in New Zealand. We know that well-settled migrants are generally happier, stay longer, and contribute more to society.
cost of living
What it costs to live in New Zealand may be quite different from your home country. How it compares depends on where you are coming from and what part of New Zealand you settle in.
financial assistance
Once you are full residents, you and your family will enjoy the reassurance of a public welfare system that provides comprehensive support in a range of situations.
retirement
New Zealand does not actually have an official retirement age. Nevertheless, many people aim to retire when they are 65 years old, when most superannuation plans, including Government-funded superannuation (NZ Super), begin to pay out your savings.
