Language guide for expats<\/h2>\n

New Zealand is an English-speaking country, so there is no need to learn any other language. The Maori language, Te Reo, is also used in some heavily Maori areas and is offered as an option in schools.<\/p>\n

To obtain a residency visa, you must prove that you have a good level of English and may be required to take an English exam.<\/p>\n
