My girlfriend has am Australian passport although she has lived in the UK for almost all her life so far. She is going off to work in Auckland for six months+ and it seems she can stay indefinately due to being an Australian national.
If I get married to her will I also be able to go and work, and stay there indefinately?

thanks

Bill

Their are reciprocal agreements between Australia and New Zealand for their citizens in repsect to living and working in each others country.

For you Bill, it would be best to contact the Australian Department of Immigration & Citizenship ( http://www.immi.gov.au ) and/or the New Zealand Immigration Service ( http://www.immigration.govt.nz ). It isn't always necessary to get married, other options available include as a De Facto Partner or in your own right (especially if you have a trade or qualifications that are in short supply in Australia or New Zealand).
