It's because Pete has an Irish Passport - as a EU citizen and as Kath is married to a EU citizen this means we can work and live anywhere in the EU.

Grandmother Kathrine Douglas (nee: Coffey) was born on the boat when her parents emigrated from Kerry, Southern Ireland. She never set foot in Ireland and it was only when Petes brother was investigating, that he confirmed she was classed as being Irish. The Irish Consulate in New Zealand said "Yes, she is Irish and you can have an Irish Passport!

Now that we have been here for longer than 4 years Kath is now able to get a British Passport too, this means we are able to bypass the "Aliens" desk at airports and go nearly straight through, with minimal time waiting in lines.
