Embark on a New Life in Wellington

Marketed as the "coolest little capital in the world", Wellington's thriving tourist industry means leisure activities, nightlife and international cuisines are all available for expats to enjoy. A number of festivals are on offer, including the New Zealand International Arts Festival, Wellington Jazz Festival, and Cuba Street Festival. Traditionally home to a number of government organizations and major corporations, the economy in Wellington has shifted as a number of these companies have moved to Auckland. The main industries today are arts and culture, film, and IT, with tourism as the major contributor with around 3.5 million visitors a year.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world.

InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world.
