Immigration & debts

Hey all

Following on from the thread below, I was wondering how having debts affect your chance of immigrating. I am currently looking into moving permanently to New Zealand but have 16k of debts. Am unsure of what I do or should I wait to I've cleared them before even considering to immigrate?

Any suggestions are gratefully received
TIA
Cath

    Hmm I don't know but personally I would get in touch with the NZ embassy or whoever it is you contact to talk about gaining a VISA & stuff.
