A warmly welcoming headline from the NZ Herald today:

Tenfold increase in interest from Brits wanting to move to New Zealand since Brexit referendum

More than 10,500 registrations from people considering moving here from Britain have been lodged with Immigration New Zealand since the Brexit vote.

The agency's deputy chief executive, Nigel Bickle, said interest from UK nationals rose tenfold on the day Britain voted to leave Europe.

That day Immigration got 998 British registrations, compared with 109 the day before the vote.

In 49 days after the vote, there were 10,647 registrations from the UK compared with 4599 over the same period last year.

Immigration "typically receives about 3000 registrations a month from people interested in studying, working or investing from British nationals via the New Zealand Now website", an agency spokesman said...

I'm not sure that immigrants are very welcome anywhere anymore, except the Chinese in NZ apparently...

Britain had traditionally been New Zealand's main source country for permanent migrants.

It was overtaken by China in 2014, which has remained the largest source of immigrants since.

Last month, Immigration accepted 272 applications for residence by Britons and 566 Chinese applications.
