Welcome guys.. We came from Welkom.. living in Christchurch for 4 years now.. The first while is gona be tough.. but it’s all well worth it… nz is awesome!
Welcome, all the very best to you and your Family. This is the best decision you have made both for your little one and yourselves 😇😇😇we arrived in 1994 with a 13 year old daughter and 9 year old son. Have absolutely NO regrets ! God Bless
@@Dunnstakenz I'm now up to date with all your videos 😊 I'm now based in the States, but my brother, and his fam (wife and 2 teen daughters) are only just starting to look into moving from SA to NZ, I shared this video with them. Any further breakdown discussed in this video regarding driver's license, financing for a vehicle etc, would be appreciated. Thank you Ps. I love your guys' authenticity
Hi Stephanie. Thank you so much for sharing our video. We appreciate it. At 6am, SA time we’re releasing our next video on car finance, IRD number, License conversion, cellphone contract and getting a NZ bank account. All the best with the application. 🙂 Please let us know if there is anything else you would like to know!
Hi, thank you for the video. Would you guys mind talking more about how you found a job? The application process, interviews and platforms you used? Thanks
Hi guys, lovely to see you are doing well. If its not too personal, could you please share what type of job you do, would love to know how others are getting offers while in SA. I am in IT and most job search are saying they prefer local NZs, and its not very easy to get an offer.
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. My wife and I, are in the exact same boat where you were when you were pregnant. My wife is now almost 5 months pregnant and we are seriously considering and looking at options to move to NZ or AUS if possible. I've been trying to get as much info as I possibly can in this regard, but for some reason it does sometimes feel a bit overwhelming with all the different opinions and information out there. We would greatly appreciate the upcoming videos that you guys are going to make and will surely make time to watch all of them. We need to look out for the future of our unborn son and would really love to give him the kind of life that he deserves and not the kind of suffering and lack of opportunities that South Africa is in at the moment. We love our country, but we really do not see things get any better in the near future, hence we are trying to make the move now and not to wait when it's too late for us. Please share all our experiences, good or bad and any other advice that you guys can give us. Thank you again for your willingness to help others and may God bless your family and may you have wonderful memories and experiences in NZ!
Hi Bjorn. Wow thank you so much for your kind feedback. We really appreciate it. We completely understand- having children will really make you sit and reflect on the future and we are so happy that we took this opportunity. We miss our family a lot and have bad/sad days but we’ve got a goal in mind and that keeps us going. All the best with your decision between NZ and Aus. We’ve visited Melbourne before and believe both countries are great options. Please let us know if there is anything in particular you would like to know about. We’re excited to share our experience (good and/or bad). Thank you for your support.
Hi guys really enjoyed your video I'm also south African and strongly looking to relocate but I won't lie I'm kinda scared of the whole process and also want that job security any advice would be a big help. Thanks
Hi there Joshua. Understandably so, it’s a really daunting process but if you want it then you’ll commit to it fully. We have a video highlighting the cost of the visa process- perhaps that’s a good place to start to get the process going. All the best with your application!
@@Dunnstakenz Everywhere:) but start close to home and explore the coastal areas of Northland. There's plenty of other SA's here with TH-cam channels exploring that can give you ideas.
Hi guys, welcome to nz. I moved from Australia to nz, best move ever. Was so racist in Australia and very over rated. Loving life in nz, best of luck, also some great shopping deals to check out at Costco Auckland if you join
How did you go about finding a job. We decided on this move 6 April this year, but we do not want to make use of LIA and not sure how to go about finding the correct job.
Im so happy that you 2 move here to my lovely island nz. I want to say this, why the hell on earth you leave your beautiful cheap country to come here to a very expensive country like mine. Believe me, everything here are too dear.
😂😂thanks for the welcome. We love it here. The decision to move was very difficult, we have goals that we want to achieve and achieving them in SA is very challenging.
@@Dunnstakenz Not yet. I'm planning to move there next year or 2025. Meanwhile, I'll get all inputs from you guys and other couples who moved recently. Thanks for the good work!
Yeah 200 a forth night really got my attention we spend 250 to 300 a week with two kids but we dont eat out thats including lunches baby needs like formula nappies
Wow, that’s quite a cost. We have found that 200 really only allows for the bear minimum and in actual fact it is closer to 250 a fortnight now. Thank you for watching.
Hey thank like your videos it's realy pricy just on our toddler a box of nappies and can formula is already at 70 dollars if I'm buying cheap and last about a week to a week and a half
And like I said we don't eat out and we don't buy any lunch but yeah it's out there my daughters school lunch a week that fruit and snacks yogurts comes up to 40 a week
sounds like australia was your first choice.......ive lived in south africa & australia......sa is a beautiful country but it is corrupt and riddled with crime, barb wire fencing everywhere you go....australia was nice but none of those places would make me want to leave nz.....cost of living is high but its the lifestyle that keeps me here and the people.....also its rugged landscapes and coastal areas......to experience nz you have to travel outside of auckland....both islands are beautiful but totally different......welcome to nz.
Kia ora Dave, thanks for the comment. Initially Australia was where we wanted to be but we are so happy things worked out as they have. NZ is lovely and we are settling in well. Looking forward to travelling and seeing all there is to see.

Hi, thank you for the video.
Would you guys mind talking more about how you found a job? The application process, interviews and platforms you used? Thanks
Hi Tevan. Yes certainly. We can briefly discuss the visas that we obtained and how Zane went about securing a job.
Funny so many coming over and more leaving for OZ - not the best time to come live in NZ but wish you lots of luck
Thanks for the well wishes and got watching, its really what you make of it. It’s been a great time for us.

Hi Desire. What is LIA? Zane found his job on the company website and applied directly. I only managed to find a job when we arrived.

New Zealand sounds wonderful. I am tempted to move myself but need to do a lot of research. Can you tell me if they have any crime in New Zealand?
Hi. It’s always advisable to do your research beforehand. Crime is a universal issue. All the best with your application.
