If you wanna move frrom New Zealand or Australia you can only do so on employment basis.
You will end up paying higher taxes so your job needs to be very high paying.
You will still need a working visa.

You either get a chick pregnant and have your child over here, that way you can avoid the security measures or you just apply for refugee status.
Most of us have been refugees 1's so i don't know why you would be one for the second time.

lol. your friend wants to become an American citizen or a permanent resident, me on the other hand I don't. All I have to do is apply for a work/living visa with my passport and I'm good. We have kiwis (nonsomalis) been doing that forever. My old school teacher who I still keep intouch with is currently working and living in the US.

Cali_Gaab, I don't know where your getting your information from but its untrue. A Kiwi living in Australia doesn't pay higher taxes, never heard or seen that. We pay the same taxes as Aussies, essentially we are the only other nation who does that. We have almost the same rights as Aussies, except we have no voting rights although we did before 2001 and adults alone don't qualify for goverment pay assistance (welfare) and that is it.

My cousins got Kiwi passports too and last time they tried to over-stay in the UK with their 90day entry visa they were deported.. so take your words back, you can't live in "anywhere".. certainly not the EU with KIWI passport!!! :roll:

+chillie:- My cousin is planning to move to Chicago next year in order to attend the Frankfurt school.

1nemansquad:- Try to do some more research about it, if you haven't already, walaal. It sounds like a big move, so make sure if it's the right thing for you right now. :D
