Now We're in NZ. What's Next?


There are few things to take care of when you first arrive in NZ. Having the following checklist and getting them done early on will save you time and energy:

  • Secure an IRD number.
  • Open a bank account.
  • Get the Section49 condition removed (check your passport if you have this).
  • Open a credit card account (to establish credit history).
  • Apply to WINZ if needing settlement support.
  • Connect with local groups or organisations in the community.
  • For basic necessities, check out stores (or online stores) for clearance or closing down sales.
  • Find schools for your kids.
  • Find a GP (General Practitioner).
  • Get a driver's license.
