You cannot live in New Zealand without a visa. If you are a citizen of a visa waiver country, you can enter New Zealand without a visa for up to 3 months. However, you will need to apply for an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) before you travel. If you are a citizen of a country that is not a visa waiver country, you will need to apply for a visa before you travel. The type of visa you need will depend on your purpose of travel. For example, if you are planning to work in New Zealand, you will need to apply for a work visa. If you are in New Zealand without a visa, you will be considered an overstayer. Overstayers can be deported from New Zealand.
