Day 7 - Emigrate to New Zealand
First things first - because some of you really don't know: (click to enlargen)
Now that you know where I am talking about.
Next step: the application.
It costs $80.00 just to APPLY for a visa. I don't have $80.00 so we will have to make due with what I've got which is nothing but a stamp and the ability to lick an envelope like no one else.
Because I really didn't understand all the other options I opted for the Student Visa.
For those of you that need a visual aid you may view the application here.
Section One: General Requirements.
I have a passport. I don't have $80 dollars but I'm planning on bribing the officials with McDonalds and other American novelty crap.
Section Two: Health Requirements.
I am not sure if the US is a TB risk country but my mother did have it at some point in her life so I will assume that I will have to get the Temporary X-Ray Entry Certificate
Section Three: Character Requirements.
I didn't know there was such a thing. I am rather embaressed to be an American. I think that should give me all sorts of character. In any event, I will need to provide a police certificate saying I'm a good girl.
Section Four: Financial Details.
I am supposed to put here that I have enough money to sustain myself for the duration of my stay so that I don't suck up New Zealand jobs from natives. So, I will lie.
Section Five: Enrolment Details *yes, this is spelled incorrectly on the form*
Am I enrolled in school? Well, I already caught the stupid mispelling on your form, so what does it matter. Are YOU enrolled in school?
Section Six: Legal Guardianship
I'm a grownup, thanks.
The next is name, address basics. My favorite question is A4 where you have to provide your name in 'ethnic script'.
You have to provide names and addresses of anyone you may know in New Zealand.
This goes on for 12 full pages. I did not see anything about marrying to stay in the country. I was looking for those details because it seems the easiest way to do it.
Another favorite -- C5: Have you ever had association with any intelligence agency or group?
Would a CIA agent put yes here?
