According to cost-of-living comparison website Numbeo, the costs below are how much you’ll spend on rent, groceries and dining out in New Zealand versus Australia.

Let’s also look at salaries to get the full picture

It’s not enough to only consider everyday costs when investigating the cost of living in a country.

You must also know how much you’ll to earn to get the full picture. A basket of groceries totaling $100 won’t affect someone earning $5,000 a month the same as someone who earns $10,000 a month.

That’s why we turned to Payscale to determine the annual average salaries for 22 skilled occupations.

The salaries are listed in New Zealand dollars but you’ll find the Australian salaries in brackets.

You can search for your own occupation on Payscale if you don’t see it on our list.

In closing

The cost of living in New Zealand is lower than in Australia. You’ll spend less at the tills when doing your monthly grocery shopping, and you’ll also spend less at restaurants and when paying your rent.

When considering these costs, it’s also important to factor in how much you’ll earn to get a realistic idea of how much buying power your salary gives you.

Does New Zealand have a good quality of life?

Thu, 31 Mar 2022 by Intergate Emigration
new zealand quality of life

new zealand quality of life The short answer to whether or not New Zealand have a good quality of life? Absolutely!

Time and again, New Zealand performs well in quality of life reports. Even during times of hardship, like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Let’s look at four recent indexes and reports that measure the quality of life to see how New Zealand performed compared to other countries around the world:

1. Better Life Index – OECD

The OECD Better Life Index measures the well-being of societies by looking at 11 topics. These topics reflect what the OECD identified as essential to well-being in terms of material living conditions and quality of life.

The 38 countries that form part of the Index are all OECD members and include the world’s most developed economies and several emerging economies, plus Brazil, Russia and South Africa.

What is the OECD?

The OECD is the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and it’s an international organization that works to build better policies for better lives. The OECD’s goal is to shape policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity, and well-being.

Here’s how New Zealand performed:

New Zealand performs well in many dimensions of well-being relative to other countries in the Better Life Index. New Zealand outperforms the OECD average in income, jobs, education, health, environmental quality, social connections, civic engagement and life satisfaction.

  • Disposable income: The average New Zealand household’s net-adjusted disposable income per capita is USD39,024 a year, which is more than the OECD average of USD30,490 a year.
  • Employment: About 77% of people aged 15 to 64 in New Zealand have a paid job, which is above the OECD employment average of 66%.
  • Education: The average New Zealand student scored 503 in reading literacy, maths and science in the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This score is higher than the OECD average of 488.
  • Health: At birth, New Zealanders have a life expectancy of around 82 years, which is one year higher than the OECD average of 81 years.
  • Social Connections: There is a strong sense of community in New Zealand, and 95% of people believe that they know someone they could rely on in time of need.
  • Life satisfaction: When asked to rate their general satisfaction with life on a scale from 0 to 10, New Zealanders gave it a 7.3 grade on average, which is higher than the OECD average of 6.7.

2. The Global Liveability Report 2021 – The Economist Intelligence Unit

The Global Liveability Report ranks 140 global cities for their urban quality of life based on stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure assessments. In 2021, the Report measured how COVID-19 affected liveability worldwide.

Who is the Economist Intelligence Unit?

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) is the research and analysis division of The Economist Group, the sister company to The Economist newspaper. The EIU has a global team of economists, industry specialists, policy analysts and consultants.

Here’s how New Zealand’s cities performed:

The 10 most liveable cities in the world in 2021 were as follows:

  1. Auckland, New Zealand
  2. Osaka, Japan
  3. Adelaide, Australia
  4. Wellington, New Zealand
  5. Tokyo, Japan
  6. Perth, Australia
  7. Zurich, Switzerland
  8. Geneva, Switzerland
  9. Melbourne, Australia
  10. Brisbane, Australia

As you can see, Auckland is the world’s most liveable city! The city owes this ranking to its ability to contain the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic faster and thus lift restrictions earlier, unlike other cities around the world.

Wellington moved from 15th place in the 2020 Report to 4th place in the 2021 report, also due to its relative freedom during the COVID-19 pandemic.

3. Quality of Life Index 2022 – Numbeo

Numbeo’s Quality of Life Index is an estimation of the overall quality of life. It considers purchasing power, pollution, house price to income ratio, cost of living, safety, healthcare, traffic commute time, and climate.

Who is Numbeo?

Numbeo is the world’s largest database of user-contributed data about cities and countries worldwide.

Here’s how New Zealand performed:

New Zealand is in 9th place on the latest Quality of Life Index from Numbeo. The rest of the top 10 are Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, Australia, Iceland, Germany, Austria, and Norway.

When looking at the indices, New Zealand ranked at number 19 for purchasing power, which means your money will go further in New Zealand than in many other countries. New Zealand also came in the top 20 for healthcare.

4. Quality of Life Ranking – US News

The Quality of Life Ranking from the US News measures the quality of life in 78 countries worldwide. The Ranking considers a variety of factors, ranging from the state of the job market to how family-friendly a country is.

Who is US News?

US News & World Report is a digital media company dedicated to helping consumers, business leaders and policy officials make important decisions. They use world-class data and technology to publish independent reporting, rankings, journalism and advice.

Here’s how New Zealand performed:

According to the Quality of Life Ranking from the US news, New Zealand has the tenth-highest quality of life globally. The other countries in the top 10 are Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Australia, the Netherlands, and Germany.

New Zealand scored particularly well for:

  • Being family-friendly
  • Being economically stable
  • Its well-developed public education and health systems
  • Being politically stable
  • Being a safe country to live in

Why is New Zealand’s quality of life important?

Your quality of life matters because it directly affects your physical and mental well-being.

Someone who lives in a clean, safe and thriving country with quality healthcare, access to education and jobs, a stable economy, and plenty of opportunities will be much happier than a person living in a country that misses the mark on some or all of these indicators.

Thus, you want to ensure that when you move to another country it offers an enviable quality of life.

You don’t want to be worse off than where you are – you want to maintain or improve your and your family’s quality of life.

As we saw, New Zealand’s quality of life is among the best in the world. When you decide to call this beautiful country your home, your overall well-being will benefit tremendously!

The cost of living New Zealand: How does it compare? (2022)

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 by Intergate Emigration
cost of living in new zealand

cost of living in new zealand

Some of the most frequently asked questions about the cost of living in New Zealand are, “Is it expensive to live in New Zealand?” and “What salary do you need to live in New Zealand?”

These are the questions we’re going to answer today by comparing New Zealand’s cost of living to that of four other nations – the UK, South Africa, the USA, and India.

Residents from these four countries often immigrate to New Zealand.

How does the comparison work?

To give you a realistic idea of how much New Zealand’s cost of living compares to the countries on our list, our comparison will look at the cost of seven everyday expenses:

  1. Rent
  2. Utilities
  3. Groceries
  4. Schooling
  5. Clothing
  6. Transport
  7. Restaurants

We’ve pulled all the costs from Numbeo, which is the “world’s largest cost of living database”. The costs are crowdsourced, so keep in mind that costs are averages.

To keep things simple, we’ve converted all costs into New Zealand dollars. You can, however, look at the costs in each country’s local currency on its Numbeo page:

  • UK
  • South Africa
  • USA
  • India

Let’s dive into the comparison

As explained above, we’re comparing rent, utilities, groceries, clothing, transport, schooling, and restaurants today.

On average, consumer prices in New Zealand are higher than in the UK, South Africa, the USA, and India.

The biggest difference is between New Zealand and India, with New Zealand’s consumer prices being 201.50% higher than India’s.

What about purchasing power?

You can’t do a living cost comparison without also looking at purchasing power.

Purchasing power is important because, all else being equal, inflation decreases the number of goods or services you would be able to purchase. So says Investopedia, that defines purchasing power as “the value of a currency expressed in terms of the number of goods or serves that one unit of money can buy.”

In other words, purchasing power is “the financial ability to buy products and services”.

On average, the local purchasing power in New Zealand is:

  • 6.15% lower than in the UK
  • 6.79% higher than in South Africa
  • 21.34% lower than in the USA
  • 67.47% higher than in India.

Let’s see how this looks in practice. We’ll start with rent which is the biggest monthly expense for most people.

1. Rent

Rent in New Zealand is lower than in the United States while it’s higher than in the UK, South Africa, and India. In fact, on average, rent in New Zealand is 257.65% higher than in India!

Let’s break it down by looking at the rental prices of 1-bedroom and 3-bedroom apartments both in the city and in the suburbs:

New ZealandUKSouth AfricaUSAIndia
1-Bedroom Apartment in City Centre1,642.691,527.17672.152,037.95234.21
1-Bedroom Apartment Outside of City Centre1,319.841,258.77582.551,653.64148.73
3-Bedroom Apartment in City Centre2,813.732,494.741,439.733,342.84516.81
3-Bedroom Apartment Outside of City Centre2,221.89 1,994.281,177.082,702.99326.06

Are you keen to further explore New Zealand’s rental prices? Use realestate.co.nz and myRent search for apartments and houses in specific cities or suburbs.

2. Utilities

Whether you rent or own, you’ll have utilities to budget for. We’re specifically going to look at the costs of basic household utilities such as water and electricity and internet.

As you can see from the information above, the cost of New Zealand’s internet is on par with that of the UK, South Africa, and India. You’re thus going to spend roughly the same on your internet connection if you’re moving to New Zealand from one of these countries.

New ZealandUKSouth AfricaUSAIndia
Basic Utilities (Electricity, Heating, Cooling, Water, Garbage) for 85m2 Apartment194.15314.23167.49252.2357.08
Internet (60 Mbps or More, Unlimited Data, Cable/ADSL) 81.96 61.9085.9499.9415.19

There are bigger cost variances when looking at basic household utilities. You’re going to spend much less, on average, if you’re moving to New Zealand from the UK.

However, you can expect to allocate more of your monthly budget to household utilities if you’re moving from South Africa or India.

3. Groceries

Let’s start by looking at the average cost of a basket of groceries in New Zealand in comparison to the other countries:

As you can see, the cost of a basket of groceries won’t differ much if you’re moving from the USA. But you’ll spend more at the tills if you’re moving from the UK, South Africa, or India.

Now let’s look at the prices of the individual items we put in our basket:

GroceriesNew ZealandUKSouth AfricaUSAIndia
Milk, 1L 2.711.861.591.301.03
Loaf of fresh white bread2.591.971.394.170.70

Lettuce 3.091.421.572.490.79
TOTAL82.4267.0551.0996.7334

4. Schooling

Most children in New Zealand get some form of early childhood education, and early learning facilities may charge fees.

The New Zealand Government subsidises all children who attend early learning services for up to six hours a day, up until children go to school or turn six. Children aged 3, 4 and 5 years old, who are enrolled in an early learning service, can receive a higher funding subsidy called 20 Hours ECE.

As you can see from our graph, New Zealand’s pre-school costs are more affordable than that of the UK and the USA.

South African parents will have to fork out more than they’re used to on pre-school once in New Zealand. The same goes for parents moving to New Zealand from India.

New ZealandUKSouth AfricaUSAIndia
Preschool (or Kindergarten), Full Day, Private, Monthly for 1 Child1,086.411,903.64320.481,411.5282.12
International Primary School, Yearly for 1 Child16,950.00 26,339.907,237.1423,539.792,302.12

When it comes to primary schools, the picture looks the same as for preschools. Keep in mind, however, that we’re looking at international schools. Your child’s education is free between the ages of five and 19 at state schools if you’re a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.

5. Clothing

Filling up your closet costs relatively the same in New Zealand, the UK, South Africa, and the USA.

When compared to India, the price of a summer dress is relatively similar. The average cost of the rest of the items on our list is going to be less affordable in New Zealand.

New ZealandUKSouth AfricaUSAIndia
1 Pair of Jeans (Levis 501 Or Similar)106.98118.5473.8366.1245.52
1 Summer Dress in a Chain Store (Zara, H&M, Etc)62.4158.8749.5653.1945.01

1 Pair of Men Leather Business Shoes175.14124.10123.52146.0552.93

6. Transport

You can see from the table below that getting around in New Zealand, whether by public transport or car, is going to cost you more or less the same as in the UK and South Africa.

You will, however, spend more on public transport if you’re moving from the USA or India.

7. Restaurants

New Zealand has a vibrant food and wine scene, and is home to roughly 700 wineries that produce high-quality wines.

You’ll find when eating out that you’re spending relatively the same as in your home country if you’re from Australia, the UK or the USA.

South Africans and Indians won’t though, and they’ll spend more of their monthly budget on dining than they’re used to.

Also keep your salary in mind when considering the cost of living in New Zealand

Knowing how much you’ll earn is a big part of deciding whether or not you can afford New Zealand’s cost of living.

Someone who earns NZD10,000 a month can obviously live more comfortably than someone earning NZD4,000 a month.

To get an idea of how much you can earn, got to PayScale. You’ll get averages for a wide range of industries. News media website Stuff recently reported that wage rises are setting new records as employers compete for workers in 2022.

Our final recommendation is to speak to a recruiter working in your industry. Recruiters can give you accurate salary expectations based on your skills and experience.

Expat Insider 2021: How does New Zealand compare to the world?

Fri, 02 Jul 2021 by Intergate Emigration

InterNations has released the results of their annual Expat Insider survey – and New Zealand did well!

The survey quizzed expats on topics ranging from their financial situation to career prospects, and expats in New Zealand rated the country highly in most categories.

Overall, New Zealand ranked in the top 10.

What expats think of New Zealand

When it comes to life in New Zealand, expats are most impressed with the excellent work-life balance the country offers. A whopping 83% of respondents were generally satisfied compared to 66% globally, and 39% of expats were completely satisfied with their work-life balance.

Expats in New Zealand also feel their jobs are quite secure, with 81% of respondents rating their job security favourably. This is 20% higher than the global average.

Prospects are also good for those looking for a change, with 64% of expat rating the local career opportunities positively. The global average was only 45%!

In terms of remote work, only 62% of respondents said they are able to work from home. For nearly half of these expats the reason is the nature of their work. That is most likely at least partly due to the fact that 26% of the respondents work in the healthcare field.

Keep in mind also that New Zealand managed to rapidly contain the COVID-19 pandemic, so being able to work from home is not such a priority as elsewhere in the world at the moment.

How does the Expat Insider survey work?

For the 2021 Expat Insider survey, 12,240 respondents representing 174 different nationalities and living in 186 countries or territories worldwide were asked to evaluate life abroad.

What factors into the ranking?

The overall ranking of each country was determined by the answers of respondents to questions across four categories:

  1. Quality of Life – Leisure Options, Personal Happiness, Travel and Transportation, Health and Well-being, Safety and Security, Digital Life, Quality of the Environment
  2. Ease of Settling – Feeling at Home, Friendliness, Finding Friends, Language
  3. Personal Finance
  4. Working Abroad – Career Prospects and Satisfaction, Work and Leisure, Economy and Job Security

Expats also had to answer the question “How satisfied are you with life abroad in general?”

Who responded to the survey?

The Expat Insider survey breaks down the statistics of respondents as follows:

  • Gender: 48% female, 52% male
  • Relationship status: 63% in a relationship, 37% single
  • Family status: 80% without dependent children abroad, 20% with dependent children abroad
  • Age: 46.1 years on average
  • Level of education: 83% with university degree (2% with no degree, 7% high school graduate, 8% commercial/technical/vocational training)

What countries were in the top 10?

The top 10 countries overall were:

  1. Taiwan
  2. Mexico
  3. Costa Rica
  4. Malaysia
  5. Portugal
  6. New Zealand
  7. Australia
  8. Ecuador
  9. Canada
  10. Vietnam

Top findings from the top three countries

Taiwan:

Taiwan has always scored highly for both the affordability the quality of local healthcare, among other factors. In 2021, an astounding 96% of respondents in Taiwan rated the quality of medical care positively, and nearly 66% couldn’t be any happier.

Mexico:

Mexico is known for offering expats a hospitable, welcoming and affordable environment. Not only has it landed in the top 5 of each ranking since 2014, but it also lead in the 2021 Ease of Settling Index.

Costa Rica:

Costa Rica ranked second out of 65 countries in 2017 and then dropped all the way to the 21st position by 2019. Now, it has managed to climb back up again. Similar to Mexico, Cost Rica does particularly well with regard to personal finance and the ease of settling in.

The best places to raise a family in New Zealand

best places to raise a family in new zealand

New Zealand is regularly voted one of the best countries in the world to live.

Parents choose New Zealand because of the high quality of education and the lifestyle the country offers their family. Not to mention the fact that New Zealand is one of the world’s safest and most peaceful countries.

But how do you choose where in New Zealand to settle your family? It’s almost impossible to single out a specific place! It really comes down to what your family is looking for.

Big city lights

New Zealand’s three largest cities also happens to be three of the most popular cities with migrant families settling in the country.

Auckland

Auckland, on the North Island, is New Zealand’s most populous city. Auckland is also New Zealand’s economic hub, and it’s known as a diverse and cosmopolitan city.

When it comes to things to see and do, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Auckland is home to many museums and historic sites and regularly hosts festivals and sporting events. Auckland is also within travelling distance of magnificent natural attractions such as Rotorua Island, Muriwai beach, and Waitakere Rages Regional Park.

Auckland isn’t short on exceptional schools either. Six of the eight top schools in the latest Crimson-QS New Zealand school rankings are in Auckland!

These schools are a mix of girls’, boys’ and co-ed schools:

  • St Cuthbert’s College: A private day and boarding schools for girls.
  • Macleans College: Co-education state secondary school.
  • ACG Parnell College: Independent co-educational school.
  • Auckland International College: Independent co-educational secondary school.
  • Auckland Grammar School: State secondary school for boys.
  • Diocesan School for Girls: Private girls’ school.

It should come as no surprise that Auckland is also home to New Zealand’s top university. The University of Auckland is ranked as the number one university in the country year after year.

Wellington

You can’t go wrong with Wellington. In the past it has been voted the ‘Coolest Little Capital in the World’. The city is also regularly voted as one of the world’s most liveable cities.

When exploring Wellington, you can visit several of New Zealand’s largest and oldest cultural institutions, quench your thirst at one of its many bars, cafes and restaurants, and indulge in the arts and cultural events.

With six of New Zealand’s eight best schools in Auckland, there are only two spots left – and both schools are in Wellington:

  • Scots College: Independent Presbyterian day and boarding school for boys and girls.
  • Queen Margaret College: Independent girls’ school.

Just like Auckland, Wellington can also boast one of the best universities in New Zealand. The Victoria University of Wellington continuously performs well in world university rankings as well.

Christchurch

There is much to see and do in New Zealand’s oldest city. You can admire street art, marvel at state-of-the-art architecture, dine at world-class restaurants, and take in the creative scene.

Some of the highlights of Christchurch are:

  • The Avon River that flows through the city.
  • The Botanic Gardens.
  • Willowbank Wildlife Reserve

When it comes to education, Christchurch is home to two of New Zealand’s top universities. The first one is the University of Canterbury, which is one of New Zealand’s oldest universities. The second institution is Lincoln University. This University prides itself on giving students ‘personalised attention’, which is made possible by keeping classes small.

Living life at a slower pace

Living in big cities isn’t for everyone. Some of us prefer smaller cities and cities with a more relaxed pace of life.

Queenstown

Known as the ‘adventure capital of New Zealand’, Queenstown sits on the edges of Lake Wakatipu on the South Island.

Queenstown’s lakeside location offers residents the chance to indulge in numerous activities ranging from jet boating to fly fishing. The surrounding mountains are perfect for walkers and hikers as well as photographers eager to capture the area’s beautiful landscapes.

Despite all of the adventure activities on offer, Queenstown is described as quaint and relaxed. The city also hosts many cultural events throughout the year, and it has numerous fine-dining restaurants and cafes.

Whanganui

Whanganui is home to approximately 43,000 people, and sits at the mouth of the at the mouth of the Whanganui River.

The city offers plenty of activities to keep the whole family entertained. You can visit history museums and art galleries, treat your kids to a day at Kōwhai Park, or take a leisurely cycle or walk in one of the area’s nature reserves.

Living in Whanganui also means you’re only an hour’s flight from Auckland. It’ll be easy for family and friends to visit!

Gisborne

Here’s something you may not know – Gisborne is the first place in the world to see the sunrise each day.

Rise with the sun and you’ll get to make the most of the city’s beautiful coastline, forested mountain parks, and surfing and fishing opportunities. Many people do! It’s common to see Gisborne locals surf or cycle before work.

You may also want to indulge in the magnificent food and wine the city has to offer. Gisborne is especially known for its chardonnay.

You want to be close to all of the best sights and sounds New Zealand has to offer

If you want to experience as much of New Zealand as possible, Hamilton and Rotorua should be at the top of your list.

Hamilton

Hamilton is set on the banks of the Waikato River and only 90 minutes from Auckland. However, the cost of living in Hamilton is much more affordable than in Auckland.

Living in Hamilton means you’re never too far from somewhere to go or something to see. You’ll find New Zealand’s surfing capital Raglan, the Hobbiton movie set, and the world-famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves within driving distance of Hamilton.

Rotorua

Rotorua is a tourist hotspot and an all-year-round destination thanks to its mild climate. It’s never too hold or too cold. Another reason for Rotorua’s popularity is its central location on the North Island. You’ll get to Auckland, Napier, the Coromandel Peninsula, Mt Maunganui, and Mt Ruapehu in just under three hours.

The icing on the cake? Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s most affordable cities to live in.

Want to find out if you and your family are eligible to live in New Zealand?

Finding out if you can call New Zealand ‘home’ is as easy as booking a consultation call with us. Our licensed immigration agent will assess your eligibility and discuss your visa options with you.

Wellington vs Auckland vs Christchurch: Let’s compare the living costs (May 2022)

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 by Intergate Emigration

Struggling to decide where to settle in New Zealand?

While there are many factors to consider, none is going to affect your life quite as much cost of living.

In other words – can you afford to live in a particular area? To get to the answer, you have to look at the cost of rent, groceries and most certainly schooling if you’re a parent.

We’ve done the legwork for you by comparing the cost of living in New Zealand’s three biggest cities – Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch.

Please note: All costs are in New Zealand dollars.

1. Rent

Many of us spend a considerable chunk of our salary on rent each month, so let’s start there, shall we?

1-Bedroom apartment in the city centre

Let’s say you’re a single person or a couple, and you love the hustle and bustle of the city. You’ll see that a 1-bedroom apartment in the city centre is most affordable Christchurch.

3-Bedroom apartment in the suburbs

You’re immigrating as a family, and you want a 3-bedroom apartment in the suburbs.

Auckland comes out tops again, with the average rental price at NZ$2,461.32 a month – nearly NZ$900 less than in Auckland, which comes in second place.

4. School fees

Your child’s education is free at state schools if they’re a New Zealand citizen or a permanent resident.

Let’s say, however, that you choose to send your child to a private institution. Christchurch offers the most affordable primary schooling by far! The difference in daycare costs are much less, but Christchurch is still the most affordable.

5. Getting around

To go about your daily business in New Zealand, you can either take public transport or buy a car.

Taking public transport

Christchurch is the clear winner when it comes to the cost of public transport. Your one-way ticket is going to be NZ$2.80 while a monthly pass will cost you NZ$115.22.

You’ll notice that there aren’t massive variances between new car prices across the three cities. The same is true for the cost of a litre of petrol, but we all know those cents add up quickly when filling up a car.

6. Going out for a meal

Enjoying a meal with friends is a favourite pastime for many of us. You get to unwind, catch up on each other’s lives, and have a good laugh or two.

Lunch at your local restaurant

Christchurch is cheapest for local, laid-back restaurants and a simple meal. Your meal and two drinks are only going to set you back NZ$32.52. The same meal will only cost marginally more in Wellington at NZ$33.85.

Expat Explorer Survey: New Zealand vs Australia

Tue, 03 Dec 2019 by Intergate Emigration

What’s the best way to find what it’s like to live in a country? By searching for answers online? This approach could give you some answers, we agree. Would it perhaps be a better idea to visit for a holiday? You’ll definitely get a feel for the country, but holidaying in a country or city is often vastly different from living there permanently.

The best thing to do (in our opinion)? Speak to people who already live there. That’s exactly what the Expat Explorer Survey does and it’s how we’re going to compare life in New Zealand to Australia today.

The reason for the comparison is not only because we offer immigration services for both countries. It’s also because many people interested in living in New Zealand also consider Australia when setting out on their emigration journey.

What is the Expat Explorer Survey?

The Expat Explorer Survey happens annually. It is a global survey and in 2019 the survey was completed by 18,059 expats in the world. Respondents answer a set of 27 questions and their answers are used to calculate a league table. A minimum sample of 100 expat respondents is required for a country to be included. In 2019, 33 countries from around the world made the cut.. These 33 countries included New Zealand and Australia.

The survey has three categories – Living, Aspiring, and Little Expats

The Expat Explorer Survey’s 27 questions are spread across three categories:

  1. Living
  2. Aspiring
  3. Little Expats

While ‘Living’ covers a multitude of aspects around your well-being, ‘Aspiring’ covers income and career. ‘Little Expats’, as the name suggests, addresses issues that affect children.

Here’s how New Zealand and Australia did in each category:

1. Living

Between New Zealand and Australia, New Zealand came out tops for fulfillment, political stability, ease of settling in, and having welcoming communities. These last two are surely linked! New Zealanders are known as friendly people who go out of their way to help others. Many new expats of stories of how a New Zealander helped them out in the first few months in the country.

Australia, on the other hand, beat New Zealand when it came to qualify of life as well as physical and mental well-being. The beautiful weather gets the credit for making expats feel physically healthier than in their home countries.

Position out of 33 countries in the Survey: New Zealand – 3rd | Australia – 4th

2. Aspiring

While New Zealand were scored higher by expats for income, Australia scored more for disposable income. So it seems that although expats in New Zealand earn more, expats in Australia has more of their salary to spend after deductions.

Australia also beat New Zealand when it came to career progression. The Expat Explorer Survey found that while expats don’t initially opt for Australia to help progress their careers, this is one of the reasons expats often end up staying long term.

New Zealand came out tops again, however, in reaching one’s potential and work-life balance. This is to be expected as New Zealand is known as a country that values work-life balance. In fact, this is often one of the main reasons expats choose to go to New Zealand.

Position out of 33 countries in the Survey: New Zealand – 8th |Australia – 12th

3. Little Expats

Expat parents in New Zealand rated the country highly for their children’s ability to make friends. New Zealand came in two spots above Australia, in fact. However, Australia beat New Zealand in learning and schooling. The difference again was only two spots, so your children are going to have a great childhood in either country.

Position out of 33 countries in the Survey: New Zealand – 9th | Australia – 8th

Where do New Zealand and Australia sit on the Expat Explorer Survey league table?

New Zealand came in at 5th place overall while Australia took 6th place. Switzerland, Singapore, Canada and Spain claimed the top four spots. Turkey, Germany, the UAE and Vietnam made up the rest of the top 10.

How does life in New Zealand compare to other countries?

Mon, 01 Jul 2019 by Intergate Emigration

There are many ways to compare the quality of life between two or more countries.

The OECD, an international organisation that promotes policies to improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world, chose to look at factors that directly impact people’s lives on a daily basis. Factors such as healthcare, schooling, and work-life balance.

The results are captured in the OECD’s Better Life Index – and New Zealand did well!

New Zealand is among the top countries in the Index

The Better Life Index compares the 35 member countries of the OECD plus key partners such as Brazil, Russia and South Africa. The quality of life is measured against 11 topics, each with up to four indicators, and New Zealand is a top performer in most areas.

Income

New Zealand’s average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is USD33,604, which is lower than the OECD average of USD25,074.

This means that, on average, New Zealanders have less money to spend on goods and services after taxes and transfers than countries like Canada, Germany and the UK.

However, New Zealanders have more disposable income than people from Spain, Portugal and South Africa.

In fact, out of the 40 countries on the OECD Index, New Zealand is right in the middle at number 20 when it comes to disposable income.

Jobs

In New Zealand, 77% of people between the ages of 15 and 64 have a paid job. This is 9% higher than the OECD average of 68%.

Education

Schooling is important to New Zealanders – 79% of adults aged 25 to 64% have completed upper secondary education. This is slightly above the OECD average of 78%.

When looking at New Zealand’s education system, the average student scored 506 in reading literacy, maths and science in the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This score is higher than the OECD average of 486.

Life expectancy

Someone born in New Zealand enjoys a life expectancy of 82 years, which is higher than the OECD average of 80 years. When comparing genders, women’s life expectancy is 83 years compared to 80 years for men.

Working hours

While New Zealand is known for great work-life balance, 15% of employees work long hours, which is more than the OECD average of 11%.

Air quality

New Zealand’s level of tiny air pollutant particles small enough to enter and cause damage to the lungs is 4.9 micrograms per cubic meter. This is much lower than the OECD average of 13.9 micrograms per cubic meter.

Water quality

It’s not only New Zealand’s air quality that’s great. The water quality in New Zealand is also exceptional! No less than 89% of people say they are satisfied with the quality of water in the country. This is 8% higher than the OECD average of 81%.

Community

When asked if they believe they know someone to rely on in time of need, 96% of New Zealanders said they do. This is 13% higher than the OECD average!

Life satisfaction

New Zealanders are happy people! When asked to rate their general satisfaction with life on a scale from 0 to 10, New Zealanders responded with a 7.3 grade on average, which is higher than the OECD average of 6.5.

With such a great quality of life it’s no surprise that New Zealand is a top choice for migrants from across the world! Get in touch if you’d like also like to make New Zealand your home.

See New Zealand in all its glory!

Wed, 15 May 2019 by Intergate Emigration

New Zealand is a country of extraordinary beauty! From the country’s mountains and rivers, to its forests and beaches. You could never see it all in one go (but you should try at least once in your lifetime).

We could write about New Zealand’s sights and sounds all day but only photos would do them justice. Here is New Zealand in all its glory:

This is a fall flashback to earlier in the year in New Zealand. Not sure why I haven’t posted this one yet, but now is better than never I guess.

Sunset over Tunnel Beach

View this post on Instagram

There's nothing quite like standing at the edge of something wild. The untameable force of wind and sea, water carving rock, embracing and releasing the earth in violent repetition. It can seem so constant, yet at the same time it's force is continually shaping the landscape. Crafting bays and canyons, turning stone to sand. Never underestimate the power of consistency. I'm the kind of person who runs from monotony, constantly thirsting for new adventures. It's easy for me to feel stuck in one place, however what we need to recognize is that even in repetition incredible change can happen. This tunnel wasn't formed in a day. If you're in a place today where you feel that you are stuck in a cycle, just doing the same old things, perhaps the change you need lays only in your perspective. Celebrate the progress that your consistency creates. You ARE shaping the world around you.

5 Bucket List Adventures in New Zealand

Wed, 27 Mar 2019 by Intergate Emigration
new zealand northern lights

New Zealand is one of the world’s ultimate destinations. That’s because few countries can beat New Zealand when it comes to breathtaking scenery and things to do.

But how do you choose what to see and do first? We admit, it’s not an easy choice to make. However, everyone agrees that the adventures below are bucket-list worthy!

1. See the Southern Lights

new zealand northern lights

While seeing the Northern Lights in person is a bucket list item for many travellers, the Southern Hemisphere’s Southern Lights is no less spectacular. This night-time light show in nearly all the colours of the rainbow is best appreciated against New Zealand’s clear dark skies. The best places to see the Lights are in the Otago region, just outside of Dunedin, as well as the night skies above Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook.

2. Cruise, raft and go spelunking in the Waitomo Glowworm Caves

New Zealand’s Glowworm Caves are unlike anything else you’ve ever seen! Here the pitch black caves are lit up by thousands of glowworms that have made these limestone caves their home.

To explore the caves, you can opt for a gentle boat cruise or choose to raft the caves on rubber tubes. You’ll also get the chance to jump into cascading waterfalls and climb through the caves. You can add abseiling to the experience to make it even more of an adventure!

3. Get up close to the Franz Josef Glacier

new zealand franz josef glacier

Franz Josef Glacier is one of New Zealand’s most spectacular sights. To experience it, you’ll have to book a helicopter ride as it’s the only way to reach the glacier. You can either go straight to the top of Franz Josef or challenge yourself with up to four hours of guided ice-climbing.

However you explore the glacier, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and get to warm yourself in the glacier hot pools. Not that you’ll be as cold you imagine perhaps. The Glacier’s day time temperatures only dip to between 5C and 15C.

4. Hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing

New Zealand Tongariro Alpine Crossing

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is New Zealand’s most famous day hike. The 19.4km route takes about nine hours to complete and reveal incredible scenery along the way. You’ll encounter steaming vents, glacial valleys, ancient lava flows, alpine vegetation and colourful crater lakes, all with breathtaking views.

This hike is not necessarily for everyone though. You should have a good level of fitness and ideally have hiking experience. The hike can become treacherous during winter when there is snow and ice on the ground.

5. Visit Milford Sound

New Zealand milford sound

This list would not have been complete without adding Milford Sound. Milford Sound is in Fiordland National Park and one of the most spectacular places on Earth. Here majestic peaks tower over crystal-clear lakes. You can explore the area by hiking through the forested landscapes or cruising along the water to see the hundreds of cascading waterfalls up close.
