Here is a great opportunity to live and work abroad in the wonderful country of New Zealand for up to 12 months!
It’s easy. If you are between the ages of 18 and 30, you’ve pretty much met the qualifications for a New Zealand Working Holiday.
Although the nice Kiwi government folks who are handing out the work visas have slightly different requirements for citizens from various foreign countries, they have made it as easy as possible for anyone interested.
The “Working Holiday Scheme” for job seekers from the United States, for example, has almost no requirements except that each candidate must have a return ticket and be in possession of at least NZ$4,200 (U.S. $3,300) to meet living costs while in the country (this is not a fee, just a guarantee that you can live in the country on your own if need be).
Things are a little tougher for more economically challenged countries, however. New Zealand only allows 100 work visas for Thailand per year, for example, and a much higher guarantee of funds: NZ$7000 (U.S. $5,500).
Whatever country you come from, however, please keep in mind that there is only a single profession in all of New Zealand: sheep farmer. Har har har…
