Exclamation Working holiday visa or not?
Hi,

My original plan was to apply through the skilled migrant programme to get a visa but I'm 10 points short, so I have come to the conclusion that I need a job offer for the points. In order to get a job offer, the best way appear to actually be in NZ when applying.

However, I am also still eligible to get a working holiday visa and want to know is it worth getting this before I go over, or just go over on a vistors visa?

I know I can't take up permanent employment with a working hol visa, but it does mean that I can get some work whilst applying.

Any advice gratefully appreicated!
