If you would like to work during your time in New Zealand you will need to apply for a New Zealand Working Holiday Visa. Your New Zealand Working Holiday visa permits you to live and work in New Zealand for up to 12 months. To be eligible for a New Zealand Working Holiday Visa, you must be aged between 18-30 at the time of your application. All Working Holiday applications must be made outside of New Zealand.
We recommend that you contact Visas for Australia for further advice and information on organising your New Zealand Working Holiday Visa.
If you do not wish to obtain paid employment in New Zealand and have a British passport you do not need to apply for a tourist visa. You will be eligible for a Visitor’s permit for up to 6 months.
