According to the official information of the New Zealand Bureau of Statistics, tens of thousands of foreigners come to New Zealand for permanent residence every year. The most common are Chinese, Indians and and British. The main motivations for immigrating to New Zealand are work/business (70%), family reunion (21%) and humanitarian reasons (9%). Let's highlight the pros and cons of living in New Zealand.
Advantages of living in New Zealand
New Zealand is not only very beautiful. It has the best climate and cleanest air in the world, and locals enjoy 2,000 hours of sunlight each year.
New Zealand's quality of life exceeds that of many developed countries, and the cost of living is quite affordable.
Global Peace Index is in its list of the world's safest countries, New Zealand ranks second among 163 countries, second only to Iceland .
New Zealand is an economically developed, calm and comfortable country, with people friendly and enthusiastic.
In the annual report of business institutions, New Zealand ranks first among 190 countries in terms of convenience in doing business. In addition, the corruption coefficient here is also very low.
Disadvantages of Living in New Zealand
New Zealand's rich animal and plant resources can not only make people happy, but also make people annoyed. For example, when it comes to insects, such as mosquitoes and flies. On the other hand, unlike Australia, there are no poisonous snakes here, which pose a threat to human life.
New Zealand's geographical location provides more UV rays, and overexposed to UV rays can cause sunburn , or even skin cancer . The considerable distance between
and the rest of the world (except Australia) makes travel very expensive. This also makes import difficult and raises the prices of some foreign goods.
New Zealand's public transport system still needs improvement, and there is no national railway at all.
Despite a well-developed health care system generously subsidized by the government, dental services in New Zealand are surprisingly expensive. The same is true for higher education.
