<i>We are lucky today that New Zealand is less than 24hours away from almost anywhere in the wold by plane...</i><p>Oh, how convenient! Only 24 hours by plane? ;)
Might want to take off the anchor in the link.<p>Having worked in Auckland with a small company, I can't say there's anything that compelling about it. Sadly my least favourite NZ city.
I have looked into doing startup work in NZ. Try getting a visa. As a U.S. citizen, I can get a travel visa. To go that route, I have to leave every few months (I forget which it is, but even 6 months is too often/costly). As a visitor, you can't do lots of things a startup might need (bank account, home DSL modem, house lease, etc).<p>Options on permanent residence or long term stays are limited. NZ has a great visa program for attracting qualified folks for hard to fill jobs. But that doesn't fit for doing a startup.<p>I was hoping this blog post had some new info like "NZ creates a tech startup visa"
