Stories from emigrants
Dutch people who already made the move
Bas (32)
Amsterdam → Auckland
With 160 points on the Skilled Migrant Category I got my residence visa within six months. Auckland is expensive, but the opportunities in tech are enormous.
Mark & Fleur (38)
Utrecht → Wellington
Emigrating to the other side of the world with two kids aged 6 and 9 — scary but the best decision ever. Wellington feels like a village with city amenities.
Wiebe (34)
Leeuwarden → Canterbury
From a dairy farm in Friesland to 400 cows in Canterbury. New Zealand's dairy industry is bigger, greener and needs farmers.
