I am a New Zealand national, originally from Auckland, our largest city. The embassy is located in Wellington, one of our major administrative centers. I had to drive there to submit my non-immigrant visa application coupe years back. In my experience, Wellington is more expensive.
But yeah, my countries too expensive that’s why I left. Why bother training, getting skilled, working hard to only get a marginally better salary. After Covid I thought meh I’ll take a break thank you… two years later I think after Thailand I won’t return, will go Australia permanently
Rubbish salaries and high cost of living… that’s why everyone smart will move to Australia. Australia thinks it has it hard, wait until you go New Zealand hahahaha
