Things you should know before moving to New Zealand | NZ Checklist | Indian Vlogger in New Zealand

Описание: Planning to move to New Zealand? Or have you just arrived and don’t know where to start?
When I first moved to NZ, there were so many things I didn’t know and I had to search everywhere, ask people, and figure things out the hard way. So I made this video to help you avoid that confusion and know exactly what to expect from day one.

In this video, I am breaking down the five most important things you MUST know (and do) before or right after moving to New Zealand. This is the essential newcomer checklist that every migrant, student, or worker needs to complete in their first few days so you can be fully prepared ahead of your big move or relocation.

These steps will help you get settled faster, avoid delays, and make your transition into NZ life much easier. Whether you are moving to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Queenstown, or anywhere else in Aotearoa, this guide covers everything you need to know.

⭐ What you will learn in this video:

1️⃣ How to apply for an IRD Number
Your IRD number is required for work, tax, and getting paid. I explain why you need it in the video.

2️⃣ Opening a New Zealand bank account
Learn the exact steps for opening an account as a newcomer, which documents you will need, and what to expect during the process.

3️⃣ Converting your international/overseas driving licence
Most newcomers don’t know the rules and deadlines. I walk you through how long you can drive on your overseas licence, how to convert it, and what tests you might need.

4️⃣ Registering with your local GP (doctor)
This is one of the most important steps for accessing healthcare. I explain why doing this early is so important.

5️⃣ Getting your AT HOP card (Auckland transport card)
If you are in Auckland, a HOP card is essential for buses, trains, and ferries for discounted fares. I explain why you need it and how it helps you move around the city in a cost effective manner.
