Under this visa scheme a successful applicant will be granted the ability to work while they stay in New Zealand this will help to financially support their stay in the country, they can do any type of work that they would like to, an applicant is not restricted on the type of work but on a temporary or casual basis. To qualify for this type of visa an applicant must already be living in a country that has a working holiday agreement with New Zealand, meet the criteria on age, health and character preconditions. They must also have available funds, and have proof on the length of their intending stay an applicant must not have qualified for a working visa in the past.
