    I am not 100% sure, although i know when some workers come to the uk looking for housing the credit checks we do on them dont show anything so infact they have no credit record.. maybe in works the same in new zealand.

    A UK Bankruptcy should have no bearing whatsoever on your financial status in New Zealand.
    The Bankruptcy Restrictions apply only to the UK and you should have no more problems than the average 'kiwi' in opening a Bank Account there.
    Good luck on your job offer - a completely 'fresh start' - I envy you.

    That shouldn't be a problem as you'll need a passport to get there in the first place. ;)
