There are NO laws in New Zealand on who or whom you can or can't date. You will be welcome, NZ is a very multicultural.

Good Luck on your travels.

Hi Infamous,

First, good luck on your GED.
Second, you won't be able to just 'move' to NZ ~
Americans are only allowed a visitor's permit for three months or less - unless you have a work or study visa, or meet other special circumstances.

This is from the NZ Immigration web site:

You may like to visit us before making any decisions, to find out what New Zealand has to offer.

If you wish to live and work here, you may consider our Skilled Migrant or Work to Residence categories.

If you wish to improve your skills, you may like to consider studying in New Zealand to gain qualifications that would help you find work here.

If you are a business person you may be interested in investing in New Zealand or starting a business.

I don't know what you've heard, but in many ways NZ is a lot like the USA. One way it differs is in its liberal stance (for the most part) about diversity.

I live in a University town and see all types of multi-cultural couples. There are many Americans here, (including blacks), as well as people from Asia, Europe, Africa, Canada, South America, and Australia. For instance, the coach of our basketball team is African-American, as well as one of the star players. Some of my Professors are American-born, but with mixed cultural heritage.

By all means, come for a visit and see what the country has to offer you. But know that you won't be able to stay permanently unless you can secure employment or else continue your education, or otherwise meet the requirements to obtain a lengthier permit and visa.

In addition, once you come through Customs, you will be asked to do several things:

You will have to show your passport. This must be valid for at least three months past the date you are to leave New Zealand.

You will need to show proof that you have plans and the means to leave New Zealand within the period of your permit. Suitable proof may include:

* actual travel tickets (confirmed or open-dated) out of New Zealand to a country which you have the right to enter; or
* written confirmation from an airline or travel agency that onward travel has been booked and paid for.

Evidence of funds: You will also need to show proof that you have enough money to support yourself during your stay. This means you have a minimum of:

* NZ$1000 per person per month of the visit, or
* NZ$400 per person per month if accommodation has already been paid for â€“ we will require proof of prepayment, such as hotel prepaid vouchers.

Acceptable evidence of sufficient funds can be demonstrated in the form of:

* cash
* travellers' cheques
* bank drafts
* recognised credit cards with sufficient credit available â€“ it is recommended that visitors have an up-to-date credit card statement.

Other acceptable evidence is a declaration by a New Zealand sponsor that they will pay for your accommodation and maintenance. See the Sponsorship Form for Visiting New Zealand (NZIS 1025) PDF.

Who cannot get a visa?

As well as people who don't meet the basic requirements listed above, some people who have committed serious crimes will not be allowed into New Zealand at all. Section 7(1) of the Immigration Act outlines what disqualifies an applicant in these terms.

The maximum stay under a visitor visa is nine months. As visa-free conditions only last for three months, you will need a visa for any longer stay.

We only allow visitors to come for nine months in any 18-month period. This means, for example, if you visited for five months a year ago, you could only stay for another four months on a trip now.

ALSO~~
After you arrive - If you are granted a visitorâ€™s permit you need to meet certain conditions during your stay:

* You may not work while you are in New Zealand (unless you apply for and are granted a work permit).
* You may not study for more than three months while you are in New Zealand (unless you apply for and are granted a student permit).
* You must keep within New Zealandâ€™s laws.
* You must only stay in New Zealand for the time allowed by your permit.

If you break any of these conditions we may require you to leave the country immediately.

Okay -

All the best of luck to you on your GED test and on your future visit to NZ....

That's a smart question, I don't think anyone one can't tell you who you love or can't love. Expect in the countries against gays, and all that blah.

NZ is a very multi-cultural country. Tons of people are in inter-racial relationships

Of course you can date whoever you want to date. There is no discrimination what so ever! About your visa, visit www.immigration.govt.nz
