A lot of people who leave NZ are young people. With limited opportunities to make money and grow your career here, most people move to Australia, the UK, USA or Canada and tend to come back later in their lives or not at all. NZ at the end of the day is an isolated, tiny island in the pacific ocean.
Hi Anna ! I'm from Argentina, I've been living in Christchurch for 3 years now and I do miss the nightlife and concerts we have Argentina (I used to go to concerts and shows all the time) and I miss simple things like greeting everyone with a hug (we hug / kiss in the cheek all the time in Argentina) , here people are a bit cold in that regard. NZ is a good country but if you're not going on a different adventure every weekend or so then you can get bored easily. I'm thinking a lot about whether I should try to get Residency here or just pack and leave .. will have to decide this year. Nice video ! Btw your English is very good and I like your accent (I also love Russia).
After 20 years of living and having a business here I'm returning back to the UK, The government of last ten years has destroyed what was a fantastic place to live and work, I'm going to miss all the great kiwi friends Iv made. But i cant really see a bright future ahead here regardless of what party is governing this beautiful land.
The country you left 20 years ago does not exist anymore. You won't recognise the place.. The same lefty globalist governmental system we have here (Tories only in name) have also trashed the place..
The good part of New Zealanders moving to other countries? We can meet them anywhere, and they are always nice people. I even met them in the Himalaya 😊👍
May i compliment you & your video content ... i am not a subscriber, but have liked you several times, so your vids always pop up. Pleased to hear you say "we" several times as though you are kiwi & belong here ... nau mai haere mai, welcome ... p.s. also liked your interview with Nadja! Apart from internet we Kiwi's seem to be isolated, so was interesting to learn a little about Croatia & Serbia & also to learn your heritage is Russian? ... thanks for sharing
The biggest issue you will face in New Zealand is housing and job opportunities. The average house is 500k+ and majority of jobs only offer 16hours a week with the ability to pick up extra shifts. If you're lucky you get a full time job that pays 50-60k per year (assuming you can find a legit full time job that isn't casual full time work). Also the bulk of jobs pay $23-$30 an hour no matter the field. So if all jobs pay the same. It based on how many hours you put into the system. Hope this helps.
I’m 18 helping out family, 4.50 for a cucumber and 3.80 for a whole bag of potato chips (or fries). Fukn insane, it’s also bloody freezing. The country itself is beyond gorgeous though
As an outdoors Kiwi, I am always puzzled when someone says NZ is boring. For me, it is odd to hear that someone can only find things to do in a city, and nowhere else. I can't think of a more boring place to be than in a city, almost any city. Come to NZ for the mountains, the bush, for nature, not for cities, every crowded country in the world has cities. If you really only want cities and wish to live in NZ, then settle in Auckland: a sprawling suburbia, unending traffic, and loads of people - if that's your thing, enjoy.
Hi Anna, I am 42 and originally from Germany. But just like you I am well-traveled and don't live in Germany for a very long time. As I have a PhD I could apply for a work visa but the question is if I will be able to set money aside to have a retirement when I am old. You are obviously much younger. But I wanted to ask how immigrations arrange their pension fund in NZ.
2 schemes. 1 is govt superannuation. Accessible at 65 years. Must have lived here a number if years, probably 20 for u. Two is kiwisaver, you pay 3 to 10 percent of your salary each pay and the employer matches another 3%. In a nutshell
I think the solution is to travel forever and stay in different countries until boredom sets in. Im looking into new zealand since the UK is over ran with immigrants and cost of living. One thing draws me there is the detatched houses with garages. Thou they are expensive to heat during winter. I know im going to miss home whist there, its only natural for the symtoms to kick in a few months down the line.
That's a good idea.... just wouldn't mind living on a cruise ship. I've thought about moving to the UK but to a rural area. The cities don't interest me over there. Rural property is much cheaper in the UK than in NZ
Many more are due to leave Australia has updated it's citizenship by law for New Zealanders to obtain citizenship. Low wages to inflation is absolutely absurd in in New Zealand let's be realistic you shouldn't be working 42.5 hours a week ( 40 hours paid) on $26 an hour your still only just barely managing to get by that shouldn't be the case. Inefficient government and system we live under it's completely unfair on working class people that their Ill entitled to same government assistance as a welfare person yet they pay though the nose for paye taxes and yearly ( example WINZ person needs tooth removed free for them , working adult $250-$300). Lived in Hungary free universal system for all working adults free of charge dentistry hospitals doctors it's included in your taxes you pay to the government. The taxes are higher in Hungary than NZ they have wealth tax. Inflation in Hungary far more bearable than NZ 86% cheaper for almost everything ( around 1/4th for price for almost everything $100 item in New Zealand is $20 in Hungary). Petrol : NZ $3.20 HUN :$1.08NZD Smokes NZ $38 HUN : $2.83 NZD Rent : NZ $400 HUN: $150 NZD monthly Internet: NZ : $ 90 HUN : $60 NZD Food NZ : $150 p/h weekly HUN: $50 NZD p/h weekly
The cost of everything in New Zealand, including even locally grown vegetables is ridiculous. Housing is mostly very poor standard and over-priced. I agree dentistry is too expensive compared to elsewhere and good luck if you ever need a hip replacement, that'll be 40,000. ACC will cover medical bills in case of accidents but everything else you pay for yourself. That can get very expensive, very quickly. There is some nice scenary but Europe has it too. NZ towns are fairly unattractive with little to offer. There is no bustling hub. NZ towns are suburban sprawl sprinkled with malls. If you don't own your own home and spend all your free time and money painting, fixing, clambering round the roof, trimming hedges, weeding, fiddling about with your house and driving to the hardware store, you can be bored stiff. Internet is generally fast and reliable (fibre), so at least you can go online. It is not a bad place but potential immigrants need to know the reality. Unless you're highly paid and have the 20-40% deposit for a million dollar home, you won't get a mortgage. You will most likely otherwise never be able to buy a home these days. Renters have bad conditions and very little protection, rental properties are mostly bad. Youth crime is huge. House break-ins, car theft, meths. Local youth steal cars, joy ride them, crash them. It is a nightly occurence. There's nothing much for them to do and what there is they cannot afford. It is not a great place for teenagers. NZ is not a safe, cosy world. As a Kiwi myself, the truth is NZers are often not very nice people, don't be fooled (resentful of other people's success and often inconsiderate). Just see how people drive. The worst drivers in NZ group themselves in Christchurch, the least inconsiderate are in Auckland but good luck driving here if you haven't got good nerves. Tail gating is a national pastime, so is not indicating, racing people at zip merges to jump the queue, refusing to let people in, etc. Unsurprisingly crashes are common. If you're from Europe and want a change, try somewhere else in Europe. I'd recommend a working holiday visa here for young people who don't mind sleeping rough, earning next to nothing to see the world, spend 6 months in NZ, 6 months in Australia but then go back to Europe, Canada, US and build yourselves a life with more future, security, better working conditions and more leisure opportunities. If you're from a highly populated place with a lot of poverty and little govt aid, give NZ a try but know you will have a simple life without much spare cash and won't be able to travel home much if at all. Be prepared to feel isolated and bored and have a lot of trouble getting your first job. I think NZ best suits loners who are sporty, like to go off mountain biking or fishing, are happy with their own company, hardy, tough, self-sufficient with simple tastes and needs. Don't mind living in a simple, basic, cheaply constructed, probably freezing cold house and don't have expensive tastes or hobbies.
@@sandraobrien8705 Hungary has a declining population low birth rates and very strict immigration laws that makes it near impossible for people to come to Hungary and start a fresh life let's do a comparison with your with posted points from Hungary prospect. Hungarian current law has 0% alcohol limit whilst driving doesn't matter if new driver or experienced driver no alcohol must be on breathe at any given time whilst driving maximum penalty is loss of indefinitely meaning you'll never drive again in Hungary again whatsoever permanently can't be overturned. Crime you may most commonly experience in Hungary is pretty theft nothing like full blown robbery on stores or anything like that, in terms of prison sentence there is no maximum prison sentence you may be sitting in prison cell to day you literally die for very serious crimes. Housing is much more affordable in Hungary in terms of getting rental and overall cost for materials and other things average 3 bedroom house is $150 NZD (monthly) that's in Budapest in very average sub- suburb ( we don't call them this ) Tax is flat rate meaning it's not progressive you pay a flat rate of 15%. Minimum wage Is 3 by fold labourers, professional and salary all 3 are set by governing law on base rate then you have sub base rate for fields which includes all fields of industry has minimum base rate. Absolutely minimum you can be paid around $874 a month ( paid monthly) Food cost is next nothing $100 NZD a week plenty for one person you'll be eating like queen or king definitely. Petrol is a third of price ( $1.12NZD) In Hungary. Brand clothing is around the same but local clothing fashion is significantly cheaper. Utilities are cheaper by about 40% for same usage. Roughly add all up if you were to spend rent food utilities and petrol on absolutely minimum wage ($874NZD) your still left with somewhere around $250NZD monthly do whatever you liked with it. That's not the case in New Zealand you go work a minimum wage job see if you or anyone you know that can rent buy food comfortably and have their bills petrol tank filled up essentials paid for still have $250 at end of every month without any money issues with finances not happening.
Soinds like you are from northern Europe somewhere as very difficult to understand your English. I am not interested in city life, the less cities the better. I am thinking of moving there to be self reliant and buy a small farm, so cost of food would not be a problem as will produce all my own as far as possible. It is a wonderfull country as spent nearly 2 years there at the turn on the century and would give anything to spend my last days there. O and its pronounced Mon tri all.
Interesting video - I'm at a point where, after 40 years living in HK, I am considering where to go next . . . it's that time. I left NZ in 1982 with my musical partner - our band had broken up and despite the fact that we were quite successful composing and producing soundtracks for ads, documentaries and the occasional feature film it was still touch and go in terms of making a living. HK had a robust movie and ad biz and in time I opened studios, production houses, in HK, Singapore & Shanghai. The music biz has changed a lot and altho I don't intend to 'retire' the situation here doesn't offer much opportunity for growth. Over the last few years I have seen a few friends leave NZ, generally unhappy about the way the country is going economically and politically, and from what I can see NZ is slipping into a sort of woke California mode . . . homelessness, crime and dishonesty in the form of broken electoral 'lobbying' promises and overall infrastructural neglect from the government - notably the Labour Party under the 'great virtue signaller' Jacinda Ardern, who resembles the callous fool Newsom running the failed state of California - there are many similarities between them both, hypocrisy being the foremost. I note that Ms. Ardern got out when things were getting too close to home and made a run for it . . . So, I'm not sure I could reconcile myself with the prevailing political trends in NZ (and to pre-empt any smart woke responses with a 'well, don't bother coming back then' comments - if that's the best you can do then don't bother 😀 maybe, instead, you can tell me how NZ has actually IMPROVED over the last decade?). I miss many aspects of life in NZ and I have no desire to live in Australia, frankly, so I'll be casting my net further afield. A piece of advice for any entrepreneurial NZ 'tweens' - Oz is not the only option - Singapore is worth a look (not so much HK these days), Japan if you're up for it (I was in Niseko recently at a ski-resort employing a lot of young French skiers and Asian service staff in various jobs on a 1 year special employment visa) and, of course Europe - it doesn't have to just be the UK. Finally - I am trying to understand what this 'co-governance' initiative is all about. At first glance it seems to me to be divisive, rather than unifying, and a sort of reverse apartheid where the minority Maori lobby gains disproportionate benefits and power over resources. I'll do more research but I don't see any immediate benefits to the country at large ???
Nz has changed a lot. Even in the last 10 years. House prices and rents have doubled, at least in Auckland but I guess it's same even in smaller cities. Crime has increased. Just this week a gang member shot dead a person in Ponsonby, of all places. Politically, Labour, Greens and Co have left a mess that Luxon and Co won't be able to undo. Schools have been infected by the woke virus, the alphabet soup, rainbow crossings are a major political issue now etc. We are saving as much as we can and gtfo. Spent last September in SEA and loved it.
NZ is over rated. Not the utopia its made out to be and unfortunately in order to "keep up appearences" things are swept under the carpet here and problems are never solved.
@robmccaw9956 Luxon and Co won't be able to undo all the damages that comrade Jacinda and Co have made. NZ is kind of fxxcked. Saving the little I make to move to SEA as soon as I can. Was planning Brisbane before c19 but now that's not a viable option. 😢
