>Andy and I were in new Zealand in 2003 and really enjoyed it. Of course, if it has a port, Andy has probabaly been there multiple times since he was in the Royal navy for almost 14 years.

>The one caveat in terms of a place to live is it is very difficult to get a residence visa, or at least it used to be.

>Since Andy is still a British citizen, I believe that he may have right of residence since New Zealand is part of the Commonwealth but I am not sure about that.
