when you decide to go to new zealand

the first thing to do is find a visa!

the immigration rules are different for each country, so I can't tell you much, I just suggest you to check the nz immigration website http://www.immigration.govt.nz/

most of the people come here with the working holiday visa. it's available for several countries, with different availability and different conditions. click here to find out more, there is a list of all the countries and their rules.

usually, if you have a whv, you are entitled to live, work and study in new zealand for one year.

the whv is for people between 18 and 30/35 years old, you can work for one year (sometimes just 3 months for the same employer, while other countries have no limit) and study for 3/6 months.

if you have a good level of english you won't have any problems to find a job in a few days.

hospitality (bars, restaurants, cafes) is where you can find easily a job. if you have experience it's a bonus, but a lot of employers are keen to train new staff.

the minimum wage in new zealand is 14.25$ per hour and wages are usually weekly. DO NOT WORK FOR LESS MONEY!!

another way to come to new zealand is as a turist. some countries need a visitor visa, other don't. find more clicking here. 

if your aim is to study, you find more information here. 

the tuition fees are very different for resident and non resident, so be sure you have a lot of money if you want to enroll to a school or university. for example, a cooking cours is about 20000$ per year for non resident, plus you need the money to live here, and new zealand is everything but cheap, especially auckland.

the good news are that if you have a student visa, you can work up to 20 hours per week (and full time during holidays), so you can earn some money to pay your rent and food.

if you decide to study in nz, it will give you good opportunities to find a better job and become a resident.

i'm pretty sure that new zealand won't disappont you!
