INTRODUCTION
WE CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR
DECISION TO CONSIDER A NEW LIFE
IN NEW ZEALAND

Migration is less daunting than it was in the 18th and 19th
centuries - but even so, it is still a journey that takes months
or even years to complete.
How can this be when international travel is such an everyday
activity?
- Because migration is more than a holiday.

Zealand.
This `Living in New Zealand' e-book is a great place to start before
you arrive. There are facts and summaries on key topics for your
new life in New Zealand.

ABOUT THIS E-BOOK
As a migrant destination New Zealand has a lot to offer. But life
is different in every country, and differences bring challenges as
well as opportunities.
Living in New Zealand is designed to provide you with a base
of reliable and up-to-date information that is useful to new
migrants. There are ten sections; The Treaty of Waitangi, First
Steps, SSNZ, Housing, Health, Education, Work, Business, The
Government, and Migrant Stories. Each section includes a list of
local websites and contact phone numbers.
Living in New Zealand is designed for browsing - the sections
can be read in any order.
Whatever your decision, we hope you find this guide helpful.
And, should your journey begin in earnest, we look forward to
welcoming you to a new life in New Zealand.

The Treaty of Waitangi was written in Ma-ori and English.

The Government has established three main points:

* Article One
Government makes law.
* Article Two
Ma-ori resources and way of life are protected.
* Article Three
The basic rights of all people within Aotearoa New Zealand
are protected.
However, the English and Ma-ori text are not an exact translation
of each other. Also, it was only the Ma-ori version of the Treaty
that was signed by most Ma-ori signatories.
