There Will Be Changes To The Working Holiday Scheme Visas - NZ Immigration News

To improve access for working holidaymakers already residing in New Zealand and those planning to visit, the government has proposed adjustments. The details of these revisions are given below. Extending by six months the visas of travellers who are currently on a working holiday in New Zealand and whose visas expire between 26 August 2022 and 31 May 2023. Give former holders of working holiday visas who chose not to travel because of COVID-19 another chance. People will start receiving new visas in October 2022, allowing them to reach New Zealand by the end of January 2023. They are able to stay in New Zealand for a full year with this visa. Doubling the maximum number of participants in the Working Holiday Scheme with a one-time boost to account for the seats that went unfilled the previous year as a result of border restrictions. This could result in up to 12,000 more working vacationers visiting New Zealand over the course of the ensuing 12 months.     Get a free New Zealand assess
