How can I get a Holiday Work Visa to go to New Zealand?
Question by dxarmbar06: How can I get a Holiday Work Visa to go to New Zealand?
I’m in the US and I want to go to New Zealand on a Holiday Work Visa. Yes, I’ve looked all over the New Zealand Embassy Website and the page dealing with Holiday Work Visas but there is nothing but explanations about what the visa is, there’s no link to apply for it online, no forms to fill out, no number to call, nothing but the runaround. How do I go about physically applying for the visa?

I have been on the search for the same answer and this is what i found. Good to this site: http://www.visabureau.com/newzealand/working-holiday-visa.aspx
It is the New Zealand Visa Bureau. All the info you need should be there. Good Luck!

Hi
There should have been a link somewhere on the site referring you to the Department of Immigration which has the appropriate information. Perhaps the NZ Embassy website needs a bit of a tidy!
This is the link: http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/work/workingholiday/unitedstatesofamericaworkingholidayscheme.htm
At the bottom of that link there is a heading saying “how do I apply?” and another link to “questions and answers”

It is very easy to apply for a working holiday visa. They are specifically for young people so no agencies or special legal knowledge is required to apply for one.
Good luck!
