[QUOTE="feazel, post: 1554698, member: 6771"] here is all the info from the horses mouth, working holiday you don't need to be sponsored etc, you are not supposed to take up full time employment, but it's been done before....... I also agree with everyone above, don't waste a 23 month visa for 3 months [URL]http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/work/workingholiday/unitedkingdomworkingholidayscheme.htm[/URL] also the immigration folks aren't idiots, when I flew in from Oz in 2010 "on holiday" as it was short notice to do a job that a mate had hooked up, with the intention of getting visa once here, I naively filled out the immigration form honestly when it came to had I been on farms, what my occupation was etc etc Immigration offical at the airport looked me dead in the eye and said "so you've just left australia where the harvest has just finished, you are travelling to the heart of the nz arable area to visit a friend just as our harvest is kicking off, and you are a farm worker by occupation, and you want me to believe its a holiday?" I told him it was an old uni friend i was going to see as it made sense to hop over from oz blah blah blah, hands me the passport back and says "I'll let you through this time, but don't be doing any work until you have a visa sorted, get in touch with immigration nz as soon as your able to" [/QUOTE]
