What is move2nz?

move2nz is an organisation created to provide free services for Skilled Migrants and Business Investors, assisting them to successfully settle in New Zealand.

Solving a serious problem

Skilled, employable, healthy and well financed people with good English language ability are being actively recruited via world-wide initiatives aimed at getting them to choose New Zealand as their new home. However once in New Zealand these groups are often largely left to their own devices being expected to be able to integrate without assistance.

Unfortunately this is not working and a large percentage of them (up to 24% according to recent Department of Labour report) fail to stay permanently. Although there are many excellent services provided for Migrants and Refugees these are very rarely used by this group as they fail to meet the general needs of this group or appeal to them.

move2nz was created by settled migrants to directly meet these needs in a very practical and personal way and has achieved excellent results in raising the success rate of settlement and integration. With an awareness of the many reasons for migration failure we meet the issues head on and provide assistance and support in a way that no other organisation or department could.

move2nz Aims

Main aims of the move2nz organisation are to increase the success rate of permanent settlement, long term investment and the benefits to New Zealand through:
  • Promotion of New Zealand as a great destination for highly skilled migrants and business investors with a ‘whole of country’ approach.
  • Provision of free services, facilities, support and encouragement to all highly skilled foreign workers and business investors working individuals and their families.
  • Creation and maintenance of a national and international ‘friendship network’ to provide assistance in successfully integrating migrants and their families into New Zealand society and culture.
  • Provision of unbiased information to prospective and new migrants from a variety of sources including other migrants, enabling the creation of realistic expectations of life in New Zealand and empowering individuals to make informed decisions.
  • Assisting newcomers make best use of existing and new initiatives run by organisations, central and local government.
  • Assisting new migrants to integrate into New Zealand society and culture successfully – working to become ‘Kiwis’ rather than staying as ‘expats’.
  • Assisting New Zealand employers gain and retain top quality migrant staff from around the world.
