Sure, New Zealand has bustling towns and cities - some of them with significant communities of Singaporeans and other Asian peoples - to make you feel at home. (You may be interested to know that around 10% of New Zealanders are of Asian ethnic origin, and this is predicted to be the fastest growing group in the years till 2026.)
It’s less hot and humid, less crowded and more relaxed. Plus, New Zealanders enjoy a work/life balance that’s the envy of the world. We’re keen to succeed, but we also make sure there is time away from work to spend with our families or do the things we want to.
Wild beauty, gentle climateNew Zealand is famously beautiful - clean, green and spectacular. From the long surf beaches and native forests of the subtropical north, to the drama of the mountains, lakes, rivers and fjords of the South Island, you’ll keep finding new places to enjoy.
The New Zealand weather makes it easy to get out and about. Compared to Singapore’s tropical/equatorial climate, we have what’s known as a temperate climate. We have four distinct seasons with varying types of weather, including generally warm, dry summers and cooler, wet winters.
Clean & beautiful environment
Wide open spacesWith a population not much different to Singapore’s spread across a land approximately 1600km long and 350km wide, there’s just not the pressure on space and the environment.
Taking out the small areas where the big cities are (marked in red on the map) leaves vast swatches of country with less than nine people per square kilometre.
There is room to move and lots of natural beauty to enjoy.
Educational excellenceFrom pre-school to postgraduate, New Zealand’s educational system is first class.
Early childhood education for 3-5 year olds is available free. Primary schools (5-13 years old) are free, and so are secondary schools and colleges, although parents are expected to cover minor costs. Schools generally start at 9am and run to 3pm or 3:30pm.
Education & schooling in New Zealand
It’s a western-style education where young people are encouraged to ask questions, think flexibly and creatively, and to seek their own answers.
Subsidised healthcarePublic healthcare in New Zealand is free or low cost if you are a citizen, resident or hold a work visa valid for two years or more. This is thanks to heavy Government subsidies. However, optional private healthcare insurance is also available. Family doctors (known here as general practitioners or GPs) are generally easy to see and hospital Accident and Emergency treatment is free. Care for injuries from accidents is also free, covered by our unique Accident Compensation scheme.

Living costsDepending on your needs and situation, you could find the cost of living in New Zealand rather cheaper than you’re used to.
To put that into perspective, Singapore was rated the world’s 4th most expensive city to live in by Mercer’s Cost of Living Survey. By comparison, Auckland was way down the rankings at 61st and Wellington even less expensive at 83rd.
Generally however, things in New Zealand cost roughly the same as they do in other Western/OECD countries.

Family friendly in New Zealand Rolf Sigaard: I think people come to New Zealand for number of reasons. I was offered opportunity to move the family out in an environment I thought was really good for kids.
Simon Shaw: One of the reasons we as a family love it in New Zealand is just the lifestyle, the quality of life. The people are friendly. To be honest with you, at first, we thought something was up - why were these people being so friendly to us when we first arrived. And it's just people's nature.
Bob Stimson: We found that there's a real sense of community that we just haven't seen in the U.S. People stop and talk to you when you're out walking about, so that was very refreshing.
Adrian Matthews: We're looking forward to enjoying the school system and the smaller class sizes. We're really keen to get the kids into the system. That's a big reason for coming.
Simon Shaw: Something we've been pleased with is the quality of the schools. We fill the schools here try and produce a more well-rounded child.
Adrian Matthews: As a family we're really enjoying the ability to get out in the hills and take the kids out into the environment and have a good look around. It's absolutely stunning up there.
Simon Shaw: We feel safe here as a family. It's not uncommon for people to go out and not lock their doors.
Gisele Abrianos: I'm thinking about growing our family here, we think it is better here, because we have the work life balance.
John Evangelista: We spend a lot of time with our friends, and on the weekends we go outside, and we do camping as well with all of our other friends. And barbeques.
Simon Shaw: Personally, we did it for the children and for their future, and we definitely think we've made the right decision.
Working in New ZealandMany people from Singapore find good jobs and careers here in New Zealand.
The economy has weathered the global recession relatively well. It grew 3% in 2012, and the IMF is predicting the same growth for 2013. As a result, the job market is strong, particularly in certain parts of the country.
The New Zealand Government has lists of skill shortages. You’ll have a better chance of getting work if your job is on one of the lists.
To work in New Zealand you’ll need one of the various different types of visa that are available.
Singaporean undergraduate students or graduates of a Singapore university or polytechnic aged 18-30 can apply for the Singapore Work Exchange Programme. This visa is valid for up to 6 months in New Zealand.
Alternatively you may be able to apply for a skilled migrant visa that lets you live and work in New Zealand indefinitely.

Studying in New ZealandIf you’re thinking of studying abroad, New Zealand is a great place to get a qualification that will be recognised internationally, while broadening your experience in a western-style country with a unique culture.
Our universities are top class. All eight of them appeared in the top 500 of the 2013/14 QS World University Rankings.
Away from class, you’ll have the chance to explore one of the world’s most beautiful countries, try different experiences and adventures and enjoy a unique culture.
And as one of around 100,000 who chose to come to New Zealand from abroad to study every year, you’ll be able to mix and network with people from around the world.
If your course is more than three months, you will need a student visa. That can last the duration of your course and lets you work up to 20 hours a week during term and full time in the breaks.
