    They have supplied a fee finder but dont match the fee names with the process names.

    Can anyone fill me in?

    EOI = $400
    ?

    Cheers

    And the last fee you pay is the Migrant Levy which is another $300.
    (Although that might have gone up slightly too with the GST increase.)

    Quickest I've seen it is 3-4 months.
    Generally 6-12months.

    6 Months would be VERY fast. Mine took 14 months ish which is about average ish from what I hear.

    Also factor in medicals & NZQA assessment, add a grand for them.
    To get it in 6 months or under you need loads of things in your favour, a good CO, recognised qualifications, a full and permanent job in your field and 140 points in the EOI that can be proven there and then.

    I cant stress enough that this process is not for the faint hearted. Sponsorship process for OZ was a piece of piss a 2 year old could do compared to what I had to go through for NZ PR.

    Good luck!:pac:

    Well any amount of stress and hard work put in will be worth it if it prevents you having to go home, sign on and sit around depressed for 4+ years ay?

    Well that is true to some extent. You dont have to go home if you have to leave NZ/OZ. There is a whole world out there other than those 2 places. Remember you have an EU passport so you can work in many countries in europe, not just Ireland. There is also Canada which has a WHV for those up to 35 years of age. Thought you were going home to finish your studies anyway.
