Sure can.
You'll have some reading to do.... You could do everything yourself instead of going through an agent.

You will need to apply for a resident visa. Contact the NZ Embassy or consulate. You may need to show proof of your relationship of your boyfriend eg, photos, love letters etc ( I know this sounds personal) Is your boyfriend from NZ? If not, then the both of you are going to be on a points system and prove that you have enough money to support yourself while in NZ for 2 years. If your boyfriend is from NZ then he needs to prove that he can surport you for 2 years. This can be very stressful, and cost lots of money. Oh yes, you will need to take medical tests as well.
Best of Luck

The best advice is to be sure of the bf. Are you getting married? Have you finished school? Finishing college should be your first priority. Then you can support yourself regardless of what happens w/ the bf. And, if you are under 25, you should not be worried about the bf at all.

if you and your bf are both american you'll need to go through a visa process.

there is not any such element as a working trip visa to the US. in case you opt for a working trip, attempt Australia. On 2nd by using, i do no longer even think of you opt for a visa to artwork in Australia.

Whoa Whoa Whoa...slow down!
You are moving to a different country with your boyfriend?
Are you sure you want this guy-and he wants you?
Thats the main thing of making sure everything will turn out fine...
