What should I prepare before I leave?

New Zealand Immigration have a great tool to help you plan a hassle-free move. It is also a good idea to check out their pre-departure checklist to make sure you’re set before you reach the airport lounge. Our friendly Resourcing Team are also on hand to help you with any questions you may have to make your move as seamless as possible.

What can I expect when I first arrive?

Once you touch down someone from Qual IT will either pick you up from the airport or we will organise for a taxi for you. You may have friends and family you would like to stay with when you first arrive which is a great way to get settled in! If not, we will organise 2 weeks of accommodation at a self-serviced apartment which is close to the Qual IT office.

When you arrive in your room, there will be a welcome pack with some essentials that you will need for your first few days in NZ. If you have ordered a phone or sim during your pre-onboarding we will also leave this for you in your room so you can get in touch with friends and family back home.

You may want to settle into your apartment and get over your jetlag before you start work with us. We suggest that you take at least a couple of days to do this and enjoy the new city you will be calling home! You may also have some other things that you need to organise such as:

setting up a New Zealand bank account
New Zealand tax information and how to get an IRD number
do some thinking about how you will get around. You might consider getting a car and applying for a New Zealand Drivers License
find longer-term accommodation
considering schools for your children - this might need to wait until you secure more permanent lodgings

We will provide you more information about settling in once we have completed the job offer and acceptance process.
