Next steps for moving to New Zealand
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules

Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare

Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
