If you're a Malaysian aged 18-30, the Working Holiday Scheme may be perfect for you!
Want to have the option of travelling for up to 6 months in New Zealand? If you're a Malaysian aged from 18 to 30 years old, the Working Holiday Scheme visa could provide you with the opportunity to explore New Zealand!

Experience the best on offer: from stunning scenery to extreme adventures, café culture to playing soccer with new mates. You can do it all while enjoying New Zealand’s clean, green, laidback lifestyle.

The benefits of a Working Holiday Scheme visa are numerous. You can work for 6 months, travel, enrol in one or more courses of study or training of up to 3 months’ duration – or a mix of all three.

To be eligible for the Working Holiday Scheme you must:

• Have a Malaysian passport that's valid for at least three months after your planned departure from New Zealand
• Be at least 18 and not more than 30 years old
• Not bring children with you
• Hold a return ticket or sufficient funds to purchase such a ticket*
• Have a minimum of NZ$2,250 available funds to meet your living costs while you're here
• Meet our health and character requirements
• Be coming to New Zealand to holiday, with work or study being secondary intentions for your visit
• Not have been approved a visa under a Working Holiday Scheme before.

*You are required to hold sufficient funds for the duration of your visit and for the purchase of an outward ticket from New Zealand. Such evidence may be requested on arrival at the border.
