I got my NZ reg first time, here's some advice

[alice]

Hi, thank you for the info. I am near completing my portfolio and I have a few questions...
How did you put the portfolio together? It says in the info not to use binders or folders or staples etc. How did you organise it all without these things? I worry that it may fall apart in the post!
How many letters of validation did you end up with? I'm not sure what is excessive and what is appropriate.
Thanks

Hi

I just put it together and put it in a big plastic envelope, folded & taped it tight then put it in another plastic envelope.
i had about 6-7 letters, i would be the believer that more info the better, if there is a problem they will get back to you.


good luck, hope this helps

Keep at it.......


We have had many UK and Irish physio's work for our private musculo clinics in the north island over the last two years. (about 20 this year). I will ask the ones who work near and with me to check this thread occasionally and see if there is any advice they can help out with.
They reported many similar challenges to the ones written in this thread.
There are two more arriving in the next month from Northern Ireland so they will be aware of any recent changes or requirements.
We are having loads of fun currently as the one year visas are running out. I have a couple applying for the two year work visa and one physio trying to gain residency at the moment.
The Physio who is applying for residency is battling a little as she had two recent holidays. For residency you need to demonstrate 3 solid months of employment.

Paul.
