My partner would be looking to work in the dairy farming industry so his occupation is on the 'skilled migrant long term list' but what about me and my child, what kind of visa could we get and what's the cheapest way to go about it.
I have been to all relavant websites but can't seem to find how to get us all on one visa or a cheap way of paying for a visa for each of us. Does my son have to have his own visa? He will only be 4 when we go.
Also, we are thinking of going to Southland. Has anyone else gone there, what is it like? - the weather, salary in farming, schools, cost of living???

Sorry, so many questions!!!
