Getting set up
What to know about living in New Zealand
The practical things to sort out as you plan your move, and how we can help with each.
Buying a home
Non-residents can buy property in New Zealand, though expat buyers often need a higher deposit (a lower loan-to-value ratio), and a purchase can take several months to complete.
Driving & your car
Driving is on the left. Your overseas licence is valid for 12 months (an International Driving Permit is also accepted), and vehicle standards align with Australia, so modifications usually aren’t required.
Utilities & finances
Utilities such as power, gas, water and broadband are typically billed monthly. We can also connect you with foreign currency transfer support for moving your money across.
Work & visas
You’ll need the right work visa in place before you start employment in New Zealand, worth confirming early as part of your move timeline.
