Working Holiday In New Zealand


As part of a global agreement with 34 countries, New Zealand’s Working Holiday visas are opened to people aged 18 - 30 on an annual basis, with Malaysia getting an allocation of around 1,150 visas per year. Successful applicants are allowed to work while holidaying in New Zealand for six months.

Visa Qualifiers

Application for New Zealand's Working Holiday visa is available online aH-year- round on a first come, first served basis. Every participating country is allocated a fixed quota per year. When the quote is exceeded, application is suspended until the following year. In 2013, Malaysia's quota was exceeded on the first day of the year!

To qualify as an applicant, these are what you need:-

             A Malaysian passport that is valid for at least three months after you leave New Zealand (e.g. say you decide to return from your working holiday trip on 1 January, your passport must be valid until 1 April)
             To be between 19 - 30 (before your 31st birthday)
             To hold a return ticket or have enough money to afford a return ticket
             To have at least 2,250 New Zealand Dollars to afford the expenses of staying in New Zealand (i.e. you may be checked at the New Zealand immigration)
             To pass all health qualifications and hold no criminal records
             To understand that your purpose of holding the visa is mainly to travel and not to work fulltime in New Zealand
             To have never held a Working Holiday visa before
             If you are currently already in New Zealand, you’ll still need to produce evidence of a valid visa to stay in New Zealand (in addition to the Working Holiday visa)
             Take note children are not allowed to accompany the successful visa holder to New Zealand
