Work opportunities for working holidaymakers
New Zealand has lots of short-term work opportunities for working holidaymakers. We encourage people on working holiday permits to consider jobs in the areas of agriculture, horticulture and viticulture (grape-growing).
Working holidaymakers who are able to show they have worked in the horticulture or viticulture industries for at least three months could be eligible to obtain an extra three month stay in New Zealand. For more details on this policy, please see the page about the Working Holidaymaker Extension permit.
Using an immigration adviser
If you are using an immigration adviser to help you complete your application, and the adviser is working in New Zealand, they must be licensed. From 4 May 2010 all immigration advisers, whether working onshore or offshore, must be licensed. For more information, go to the Immigration Advisers Authority website www.iaa.govt.nz.
