Working Holiday Visa Requirements
ASIA AND AFRICA
STA Travel will help make your Big OE preparations hassle free with this easy to follow table of Visa requirements.
We have sussed out all the important information you will need to know about Working Holiday Visas, including age limits, visa validity, work restrictions, processing time and insurance.
New Zealand has reciprocal working holiday arrangements with several countries in Asia, however eligibility and conditions do vary. We also have a host of great volunteer and paid-teaching placements to get you going. There are no formal working holiday visa programmes for New Zealanders wanting to work in Africa. However there are numerous volunteer projects available.
Below you will find Working Holiday Visa information for 3 of the top OE destinations in Asia. The visa for Japan is able to be extended to 12 months once you're there.
Please bear in mind that visa requirements can change from time to time. You will need to obtain complete and up-to-date information from your STA Travel Adviser before making your work or travel plans.
