New Zealand Working Holiday Visa Packages

New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries on earth, and the best way you can get to see it is with a New Zealand working holiday visa.

The working holiday visa scheme gives you the opportunity to travel around New Zealand, while also taking up casual employment to help finance your holiday.

New Zealand working visas permit you to stay for up to 12 months (optionally up to 23 months); however you may only work for a total of 12 months, regardless of the total length of your stay. Your visa will automatically be for 12 months - if you wish to increase this you will be required to undergo additional medical checks (at an additional charge).


You may also study or train for up to 3 months when entering under a New Zealand work visa.
