A work permit is easily obtained if you work in IT and have a job offer from an NZ company. Official government information at http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/work/ "In this section you will find everything you need to apply for a visa and permit to work, temporarily or permanently, in New Zealand." As a general rule, people move here for the lifestyle, not for the income.
