Working holiday visas and SMC expressions of interest
You can use Online Services to apply for a working holiday visa, or to send an online expression of interest for the Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) visa.
Information about Online Services
Our Online Services system is only used for working holiday visas, or to send an online expression of interest for SMC visas.
You can only apply for a working holiday visa online, but you can send us an expression of interest for the SMC visas either online, or by filling out a paper form.
Applications for a second working holiday visa under the UK or Canadian working holiday scheme cannot be made online. They must be made through a paper application form.
Provide the correct information
You must give us the correct information. If you do not, you may have problems when you make an application under the skilled migrant visa, or travel to New Zealand on your working holiday visa.
If you are applying for a working holiday visa, you must only apply under the working holiday scheme that corresponds with the visa you intend to use to travel to New Zealand.
