What is the Working Holiday Visa?

The New Zealand Working holiday visas are available to young people aged 18-30. They let you travel and work in New Zealand for up to 12 months. You need to have a return ticket, or enough money to pay for one, and be coming mainly to holiday, with work being a secondary intention.

Under the Working Holiday programme in New Zealand, the primary purpose of your visit must be holiday, but you are entitled to seek temporary employment in New Zealand to help fund your stay.
