New Zealand Working Holiday Visa
Work Travel Visa


A work travel visa under the New Zealand working holiday visa scheme opens up a different angle on travelling this country.
  • First, it is a great opportunity to extend your travel time range or activity range.
  • Second, insights into New Zealand’s way of life and population are intensified.
  • Third, it could smooth the way to permanent New Zealand residence.

The following twenty-six countries are involved in this work travel visa scheme:

Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, Uruguay, and USA.

Conditions vary from 50 persons to unlimited persons and for a limited time from 6 months for Singapore to 23 months for United Kingdom. Generally, this program is for travellers between 18 and 30, even 35 years of age for USA. From most countries, it is possible to apply online after confirming availability of the program. For some countries in the program, an application from New Zealand itself is probable the others require to apply before you arrive in New Zealand.
