The Working Holiday Visa allows young and talented individuals to live and work in New Zealand for up to 12 months on a non-permanent basis. Applicants aged between 18 and 30 years are eligible, with some countries extending the age limit up to 35 years. Citizens of the UK and Canada may be eligible for a visa duration of 24 months under this scheme.
To apply, applicants must demonstrate sufficient funds to support themselves during their stay and provide contact details of a potential employer. The application process generally takes around 30 days.
Eligibility is limited to citizens of countries that have a working holiday agreement with New Zealand.
Study Visa
If you plan to study in New Zealand for more than three months, you will need a student visa. Before applying, you should choose your field of study and university based on factors like language proficiency, academic performance, and skills.
For students over the age of 17, the following requirements must be met:
- A valid acceptance letter from a New Zealand educational institution for the desired degree program.
- Proof of sufficient funds to cover living expenses while studying in New Zealand.
- A clean criminal record and health check-up to ensure safety and security during your stay.
Dependent Child Student Visa
This visa is available to children whose parents are working or studying in New Zealand. Dependent children can enjoy free domestic education until they reach secondary school age, and they can stay in New Zealand until they turn 19, provided their parent holds a valid visa.
Once the child reaches tertiary education, they must apply for a fee-paying student visa. If the stay is extended beyond a certain period, the child must undergo a tuberculosis test.
This visa typically applies to children of parents pursuing a PhD or those receiving sponsorship funding in New Zealand. Students also have the opportunity to work part-time while studying and may apply for a post-study visa to work after graduation.
Business Visa
A Business Visa is designed for entrepreneurs and creative investors who wish to establish or explore business opportunities in New Zealand. This visa is also a pathway to apply for a work-to-residence or permanent residence visa once the business is well-established.
To qualify for this visa, applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Have been involved in a successful business for at least 6 to 24 months.
- Provide proof of sufficient funds, including bank statements and other financial documentation.
- Demonstrate a clean criminal record and meet language and health requirements.
New Zealand encourages investment in business to enhance economic growth, and successful applicants may transition to permanent residence.

The Permanent Resident Visa allows individuals to reside in New Zealand indefinitely. After living in New Zealand for two years on a resident visa, you can apply for permanent residency, which grants the freedom to live, work, and travel without restrictions.
Once granted, your family members also become eligible for permanent residency benefits. You do not face restrictions on employment or travel.
To apply for this visa, you will need to provide:
- A valid passport.
- Proof of employment and residence in New Zealand.
