for qualified professionals, a pleasant environment, and a laid-back lifestyle, to mention a
few. It's easy to comprehend why so many individuals worldwide have decided to pack their

Maori, with English spoken by most of the population. As a result, English-speaking expats
will be spared the frequently arduous task of overcoming linguistic obstacles.

New Zealand's healthcare system is well-managed and provides high-quality treatment.
According to the Ministry of Health in New Zealand, roughly 40 well-equipped public and
numerous private hospitals are distributed throughout different cities. New Zealand
residents are entitled to free medical treatment with a few exclusions. On the other hand,
immigrants may not be eligible for the steeply subsidized and free medical treatment,
depending on their visa status. As a result, at least until you attain residence status, get
medical insurance coverage. Although dental treatments are not covered by the free public
health system in New Zealand, the country does offer a program called Talk Teeth. Every
youngster under the age of 18 is entitled to free dental care. 111 is the number to dial in the
event of a medical emergency.

laid-back attitude and friendly demeanor. The indigenous language of New Zealand is Maori;
however, most of the population speaks English.

Border controls limit the importation of plant and animal goods to maintain biodiversity (as
well as plants and animals themselves). Agricultural products, outdoor or animal-related
equipment, and all food must be disclosed. Some things, such as hiking boots, should be
allowed as long as they have been thoroughly cleaned before arriving. However, mention
anything you need clarification on because there might be huge fines if you don't.
