New Zealand working holiday visa fr £115
To fully appreciate the culture and beauty of New Zealand you need to immerse yourself slap bang in the middle of it, and a working holiday visa is the best way of experiencing everything this amazing country has to offer.

  • Once your application is approved, you have 12 months to arrive in New Zealand (you will usually get a response about your application within a few days of applying, asking you for more information or letting you know the decision).
  • Stay for up to 23 months (if you are from the UK) and work for up to 12 months. 
  • Work in a skilled or unskilled position at any location in New Zealand - unlike Australia, you won’t have to change jobs if you don’t want to.


Visitor Visa
The good news for UK passport holders is that you can enter New Zealand visa-free as a visitor for up to 6 months, which is perfect if you don’t want to work while you are there. All you will need is a passport that is valid for three months beyond the date you intend to leave the country.

Visitors from most other countries will find that they have a three month visa free visitor status. To check your country's eligibility or to apply to stay longer as a visitor you will need to visit Immigration New Zealand.
