Pros for expats: Short-term work visas are easy to get for U.S. citizens and guess what? They don’t even require an offer of employment before arriving. Hey, if 2017 taught us anything it’s how to wing it!

Cons for expats: The cost of living is about 10% higher in New Zealand compared to the United States. American expats in New Zealand should prepare for much higher housing costs and should probably dine out less, even with an expected boost in income.
