Ollie. Reality check time. Unless there's something you're not telling us, you will not just be able to move to NZ and get a job as a pilot because (a) you need the right to live and work there and (b) there are no jobs there. Yes, it will be easy enough to get a NZ licence and medical - but where do you intend to live and work if not NZ? To fly in Europe you will need an EASA medical.
