It's my last day

Welcome to NZ! And well done for slipping in just days before the door slams firmly shut on any residency paths for working visas for truckies. You’ll be required to work for accredited employer(s) for two years, then you can apply for residency as long as your base salary is at least $55,000. The salary threshold has now been raised for new applicants to nearly $80,000, and no trucking company will be willing to pay that to an unknown driver from overseas.

I hope you’ll settle and be very happy in NZ - a delightful country for those of us who like a simpler life, less traffic, more scenery etc
