New Zealand Visa Requirements
Most Au Pairs enter New Zealand on a Working Holiday Visa. Typically Working Holiday Visa's allow young people (between the ages of 18 to 30) to stay in New Zealand for up to 12 months. Au Pairs who come to New Zealand on a Working Holiday Visa will be able to study for a maximum of 3 or 6 months depending on the regulations of the country specific Working Holiday Scheme. Working Holiday Visa conditions vary depending on the country that you come from and not all countries have an available scheme with New Zealand - please go to the Immigration New Zealand website for more detailed information and a full list of qualifying countries. Alternatively, please contact us for more information on the visa requirements and options to become an Au Pair in New Zealand.
Please note, although Au Pair Link will assist you in your application, this process must be completed by you. Payment of $140.00 (NZD) must be paid directly to the New Zealand Department of Immigration.
