Working Holiday Visa Advisers in New Zealand

New Zealand has Working Holiday Agreements with over 60 countries including the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia, USA, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Chile, Argentina, and others. Quotas apply for some countries. Check immigration.govt.nz for the current list.

Some nationalities can apply for a second (and in some cases third) year on a Working Holiday Visa. The UK and Canada have Extended Working Holiday arrangements allowing extra time. Additionally, if you work for 3+ months in horticulture or viticulture in certain regions, you may qualify for a 3-month extension. An LIA can confirm your extension eligibility.

Not directly, but it can be a stepping stone. Work experience gained on a WHV can contribute to points for the Skilled Migrant Category or qualify you for an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV). Many people use a working holiday to get a feel for New Zealand and an NZ employer before pursuing a longer-term visa.

Yes, but you are limited to studying up to 3 months in total during your working holiday. For longer study, you would need a Student Visa.

Most straightforward Working Holiday Visa applications are completed online without an adviser. An LIA is recommended if you have a prior refusal, health or character concerns, are not sure which visa category applies to your nationality, or are planning to transition to another visa type during your stay.
