Thinking about taking off to New Zealand?
You have several visa options – perfect for Singaporeans and Malaysians looking for a way to enjoy the unique lifestyle of New Zealand. Consider these four to start – one may suit your needs.
 

Want to work in New Zealand and further your career?
If you are age 18-30, you may well qualify for a work visa.  New Zealand currently has demand for skilled labour in key sectors, such as engineering, health, education and Information & Communications Technology (ICT).

No matter which visa you choose, the Singapore and Malaysia branch of Immigration New Zealand is available to answer any questions you have. Visit the immigration website for Singapore to find more information relevant to you. This branch is also responsible for providing Malaysians with visas and visa information.

Want to play, study, or work for 6 months?
A great option is our Work Exchange Programme for Singaporeans or our Working Holiday Scheme visa for Malaysians.

The Work Exchange Programme gives you a New Zealand visa for 6 months if you are Singaporean aged between 18 and 30 and are an undergraduate student or graduate of a Singaporean university or polytechnic institution.

The Working Holiday Scheme visa gives Malaysians between the ages of 18 and 30, 6 months to work, travel or study.

You can apply online for these visas and be approved within days. It's easy!

The great advantage of this visa is that you can combine work with your holiday, so you have the funds to do all the things you want during your time in New Zealand. You could find a job in hospitality, fruit picking in the sun or even a job that will enhance your career! Or, take a short training course, travel – or do all three!
