Moving to New Zealand: Desire’s Journey, Nursing & Teaching Reg and Visa Refusals | Live Q&A #15

In this live Q&A, Brett and Desire share real experiences and answer questions about moving to New Zealand. Desire talks through her family’s move from South Africa, how their visa and residence pathway changed, and what helped them settle. We also discuss nursing and teaching registration, Soft Landing NZ’s community and pathway assessments, and why some visitor visa applications may be declined without an opportunity to respond first. Immigration pathways and requirements depend on each person’s circumstances. This conversation is for general information and isn’t individual immigration advice. For advice about your situation, speak with a licensed immigration adviser.
