Visas

If you're looking to work in New Zealand, you'll need a Working Holiday Visa. These are usually easy to obtain if you are under 30, and the NZ government recently increased the UK quota by a thousand to 9000 per year. Apply at the NZ immigration website.

If you are a Citizen of one of the countries listed on the New Zealand Visa Free list, you do not need to apply for a visitor visa prior to travel. You will need to show onward travel arrangements (ie return ticket) to a country which you have the right to enter and a valid and acceptable travel document (valid for three months after the departure date) at the border for a stay of up to three months (or up to six months for UK citizens) as a visitor in NZ.
