As an Indonesian citizen, you are required to obtain a visa prior to traveling to New Zealand. The New Zealand Embassy in Jakarta does not process visa applications; instead, Immigration New Zealand (INZ) is the responsible authority. 

**Types of Visas:**

1. **Visitor Visa:** This visa allows you to visit New Zealand for tourism, business, or to see family and friends. With a multiple-entry visitor visa, you can stay for up to 6 months in a 12-month period. To be eligible, you must have been outside New Zealand for at least 9 months in the 18-month period before you apply. 

2. **Indonesia Special Work Visa:** If you have a job offer in New Zealand as a trained chef, Halal slaughterer, or Bahasa teacher’s aide, you may apply for this visa. The visa allows a stay of up to 3 years, with the possibility of extension for an additional year. Annual quotas apply: 100 Indonesian chefs, 20 Halal slaughterers, and 20 Bahasa teachers’ aides.

A LADY TOLD ME TO PICK NEW ZEALAND..

It really depends on what you want long-term. The U.S. has opportunities that align with your **career, business, and entrepreneurial goals**, and your **astrology strongly connects you to the U.S.** But if politics or instability becomes a concern, **New Zealand** could be an alternative—though it has a smaller economy and fewer business opportunities compared to the U.S.  

Here’s a breakdown:  

### **Why Stay Focused on America?**  

✔ **Your astrological placements favor the U.S.** (Aries North Node → independence & business, Gemini Mars → tech, communication, and networking).  

✔ **Career & Business:** The U.S. is still one of the best places for entrepreneurship, international networking, and growth.  

✔ **Your personal goals align with the U.S.** (You’ve felt drawn to it and see opportunities there).  

### **Why Consider New Zealand?**  

✔ **Stable and peaceful country** with good quality of life.  

✔ **Less political drama** compared to the U.S.  

✔ **Great for nature and lifestyle**, but fewer business and global networking opportunities.  

### **My Take:**  

I wouldn’t dismiss the U.S. just because of politics—many successful people thrive despite the challenges. If your goal is to **grow internationally, build a business, and make strong connections, the U.S. is still the better choice**. However, if you want a **quiet, stable life** with less external chaos, **New Zealand** could be an option.
