Why choose New Zealand as an expatriation destination?
Today, New Zealand is one of the world’s most attractive destinations. Beyond its breathtaking landscapes and the friendliness of its people, it offers an unparalleled quality of life. Far from the growing stress and insecurity of Europe, the "Land of the Long White Cloud" presents countless opportunities for both personal and professional growth.
A dynamic economy
Families need to settle in the best possible conditions to ensure a soft landing and maximize the chance of a successful integration: accommodation, education support and assistance for spouses are part of our packages. New Zealand services have been designing their products and services around that philosophy: we support our clients from helping them to define and assess the feasibility of their project to their arrival in New Zealand and beyond.
Full Employment
New Zealand’s job market is thriving, with many industries offering significant employment opportunities, particularly in sectors like construction, education, healthcare, science, and tourism. The country’s unemployment rate has steadily decreased and currently stands at just 4.6%.
A Unique Quality of Life
In 2023, Mercer’s Quality of Living ranking placed Auckland 3rd globally, highlighting its exceptional lifestyle offerings.
New Zealand provides its residents with a perfect balance between a thriving economy and the relaxed "Kiwi way of life," which places great emphasis on personal growth and family well-being.
According to a 2023 survey by Remote, New Zealand ranks 1st globally for work-life balance.
A Safe and Stable Destination
Far removed from the rest of the world, New Zealand offers its residents a strong sense of security. The country was ranked the 4th safest destination globally in the 2023 Global Peace Index. While zero risk is impossible, as demonstrated by the tragic Christchurch attacks in 2019, the crime rate remains significantly lower than in most other countries.
New Zealand also boasts a high level of political stability and was recognized as the third least corrupt country in the world by the 2023 Transparency International Corruption Perception Index.
Even the wildlife is peaceful in New Zealand! Unlike its neighbor Australia, the country is free from deadly species.
Unmatched Hospitality
Kiwis are renowned for their relaxed, welcoming, and friendly nature! According to a recent survey by New Zealand Immigration, nine out of ten expatriates find the reception they receive either satisfactory or exceeding their expectations.
With a cosmopolitan population enriched by influences from around the world and a quarter of its residents born overseas, New Zealanders understand what it means to start fresh in a new country. It’s common for Kiwis to ask about your country of origin and what brought you to New Zealand during conversations.
Exceptional Educational System
New Zealand is an outstanding destination for studying or undertaking a language immersion program. Ranked 3rd in the Worldwide Educating for the Future Index 2021 (with France at 14th place), New Zealand boasts one of the world’s top educational systems. This excellent reputation attracts around 100,000 international students each year.
The country is home to 8 universities, all renowned for their high standards. In 2020, all of these institutions were once again listed among the world’s top universities according to the QS World University Rankings. Each university offers a diverse range of programs from undergraduate to doctoral levels.
