The eternal question!! The best thing about New Zealand is that there are loads of great ways to get around. Compared with the UK, buying and running a car is a LOT cheaper. You can get a backpacker's car from around 200 dollars, insurance from 100 dollars and petrol is around 40p a litre! If you are going with friends you can share the costs, or why not buy a campervan and sleep in it as well? Another good transport option is to get a hop on hop off bus pass which allows you to travel around NZ but jump off when you see somewhere you like!

Right, your luggage allowance is currently based on one thing - whether you fly through America on your way out or Asia (eg Hong Kong, Singapore etc). If you fly through Asia your maximum luggage allowance is 20kg and 7kg for your hand luggage. If you fly through America you have an allowance of 32 kg for your luggage and 7kg for your hand luggage. Hong Kong and Singapore are great places to have a stopover on the way out. Also, airlines such as Singapore Air offer a great flight service. If you are thinking of taking over 20kg – Don’t!!

Best thing to do is to contact our Sydney office. They will be able to assist you with this.

Certainly are! Every January the biggest Australasian music festival, the Big Day Out, comes to Auckland. This two day event has some great bands as well as lots of local Kiwi talent for you to check out. For example, in 2006 The White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand, Kings of Leon, The Magic Numbers and The Subways hit the stage. The event lasts for 2 days. For more details check out http://www.bigdayout.com.

There are also a few more local festivals and different types of festivals such as the Winter Festival down in Queenstown and the Food Festival in Hokitika.

Well, that depends... Based on the time of year you want to travel and the current offers available with the airlines, it can be between £600 and £900. It's also worth looking into a round the world ticket which will let you visit a lot more countries for not much more money.

Hostels are the main accommodation that travellers stay in when in NZ and they offer both long term and short term accommodation. If you've ever been to a hostel in the UK you might be thinking of raincoats, old men with beards and birdwatchers! Well, in New Zealand they are great places to stay with cinema rooms, internet, decking, bbq areas and spa pools. You can choose to have your own room or share with others and you all cook and socialise in well-equipped areas.

Obviously it depends on what sort of work you are doing, but the basic pay rate for hotel or shop work is around $10-12 an hour. For office work expect around $14-20 in the cities. The current minimum wage in New Zealand is $9.50 an hour so you won't get paid any less than that!!

The classic place to start your trip would be in Auckland as it used to be the only real international airport. Being the largest city means there is a good chance of getting work and it's a great place to base yourself to explore the North Island. However, you can now get some great deals flying into Christchurch and this can be a much nicer, smaller city (500,000 versus 2 million) to start off in. You are then based in the South Island and can see this area first if it takes your fancy more.

If you have a valid UK drivers licence and an International Driving Permit then you are eligible to drive in New Zealand for up to a year without doing anything else. After this time, you would need to take an NZ driving test. Be aware that it is against the law not to have your licence on you while driving.

There are loads of rental car companies in New Zealand offering very competitive rates so you could hire a car for a weekend or a few months! In general, drivers have to be a minimum of 21 but some will let 18 year olds hire a vehicle.

With petrol and insurance being so cheap, many backpackers buy a car to travel around New Zealand then sell it on when they leave.

The drinking age in New Zealand is 18, the same as the UK. You'll also be happy to know that you can go on drinking throughout the night. While we're on the subject of drinking in NZ, unless you go to an Irish or UK style bar, beer is served in 'handles' rather than pints, which are a bit smaller at 440ml. New Zealand also has an enormous range of its own beers so you won’t have any problem in that camp!! Some of you may heard of are Speights, Monteiths, Lion Red, Export Gold, Tui, Macs Gold, NZ Lager (!), Steinlager. So many to choose from!!!!

Provided your visa allows multiple entry (as does the holiday visa) and you re-enter before the visa expires then you can. Always check with immigration first if you are unsure because if you are not permitted to re-enter they will send you home.

If your company is willing to keep you on they can apply for a 4 year work permit for you. This allows you to work for that company for up to four years. Beware though...If you leave or are terminated your visa expires immediately and you have to leave New Zealand.

You will need to visit your GP or nearest travel clinic for vaccination advice. Please ensure you allow sufficient time to obtain any vaccinations or boosters you may need before travel.

If you hold an Irish passport you can apply from outside your home country. If you hold an UK passport, you can apply from outside the UK only if you are using a temporary visa and your stay outside the country is not over 24 months.

Your partner can apply for a tourist or sponsorship/migration visa.

Yes, you can, however you will need to pass some medical examinations, before the visa can be approved.

Yes, you will need insurance for the whole 12 month stay (you can book policies for a longer duration if you are visiting other countries before and after your Australian holiday). Read the policy cover details carefully to ensure you have the right level of protection, bad cover is worse than no cover at all.

No. Working holiday makers on a holiday visa for working are permitted to do any kind of work of a temporary or casual nature. However, if you intend to work in your occupation in Australia, you should be aware that registration or licensing may be required.   

NB: Passport holders from the list below may only hold a job for a length of 3 months with each employer.

• Argentine
• Brazil
• Chile
• China
• Czech Republic
• Denmark
• Estonia
• Finland
• Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
• Italy
• Japan
• Korea
• Malta
• Mexico
• Peru

• Thailand

Working Holiday visa makers are permitted to study or train for up to 3 months.

Yes. You can leave and re-enter New Zealand within the 12 months from the date of initial entry to New Zealand on your visa for holiday and working. However, if you depart New Zealand during your 12 month stay, you are not able to recover in any way the period of time spent outside New Zealand.

You can work for the entire 12-month period as long as your labour contract does not state "permanent" - your contract has to be for a fixed period of time that does not exceed a 12-month period.

NB:

- If you are a British citizen and have been granted with a 23-month visa, you can't work for more than 12 months while on your Working Holiday permit. This can be in a consecutive period, or interspersed throughout your 23-month stay.

- Passport holders from the list below can work for the entire 12-month period as long as their labour contract does not state "permanent" but they need to change their employer every 3 months (can't work for more than 3 months with each employer):

• Argentine
• Brazil
• Chile
• China
• Czech Republic
• Denmark
• Estonia
• Finland
• Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
• Italy
• Japan
• Korea
• Malta
• Mexico
• Peru
• Taiwan
• Thailand
• Uruguay

Yes, or at least evidence that you have sufficient funds for a return fare. You should provide evidence like a bank statement or savings book. The minimum amount you need to show is $5000 Australian dollars (at current exchange rates this is around £2000)

No, all you have to do is to fill in our simple online form. You don't even need to send us your passport. We will confirm all the details over the phone.

Yes, however there will be additional documents required and there will be a delay.

You can use a debit or credit card. Alternatively you can send us a postal order or bank draft.

No. You need a New Zealand Working holiday visa to work in New Zealand.

Yes. You just do not have to bring your children with you.

The visa starts running from the date you enter NZ. You have 12 months to activate it.

There is a med fee paid to us and you should cover the expenses on the examinations as well. As soon as an application is lodged email with instruction will be emailed to you. If you are Irish however you cannot apply for 23 months visa. Only UK pp holders can.

When you arrive in New Zealand you need to have your original passport, your visa confirmation letter and a bank statement, confirming that you have enough funds to support yourself. The required minimum of funds is NZ$ 4200 but if you don't have a return ticket outside of New Zealand you need to have enough funds on the top of this to be able to purchase one when you're due to leave.

When you’re applying for a working holiday visa to New Zealand there is a requirement that you must not be accompanied by children otherwise you will breach your visa conditions and might be deported from the country. Your wife can come with you but she needs to apply for a separate visa for herself.

Only UK Passport holders are eligible to obtain 23-month working holiday visa which allows them to work for not more than 12 months in total. If you hold a South African passport you are not eligible for a working holiday visa to New Zealand at all. You should consider different type of visa.

If your application was lodged while you were still 30 there should be no problem at all.

There is absolutely no problem to apply outside of your country of residence. We’ll simply need to confirm your passport details and ask you a couple of questions and will be able to start your application straight away. Once the visa is granted, you will receive your visa confirmation letter by email as this type of visa is electronically attached to your passport details and no visa label is required to be placed in your passport. Please bear in mind that UK passport holders can apply for the New Zealand visa from outside of the UK only if they haven’t spent more than 2 years abroad at the time of the application.

Basically you don’t need to undergo a medical examination or a chest x-ray if you will be staying in New Zealand for 12 months. However those might be required if you have any medical conditions or if you have been in any of those countries considered as `risky` for more than 3 months.

There should be a problem for the visa to be granted. You will need to provide a police check certificate and a person explanation on what exactly happened. Please be advised that in such case it takes longer for the visa to be granted.

There is no problem to obtain a working holiday visa for New Zealand as long as you have the required minimum of sufficient funds for your stay there and a return ticket or enough funds to purchase such when you’re due to leave the country.

Basically upon arrival in New Zealand you might be required to provide proof of sufficient funds and either a return ticket or sufficient funds to purchase such when you’re due to leave the country. If someone else will be supporting you financially I’d advise you this person to transfer the required funds to your account so that you could get a bank statement confirming that you have the required minimum of funds available upon arrival in New Zealand.
