Default Job update
I've been here nearly 3 months. Not being from the Commonwealth us Americans don't get the regular 6 month visa.

If you show proof that you have at least $1,000 NZ ($700ish US) you can extend for a month. $3,000 would be 3 months, the maximum extension (to total 6 months).

Word of mouth is definitely huge. Also, most companies hire you as a contractor before signing you on permanently. I know people who are still with the contracting agency after years.
