Does New Zealand need an interview or telephone survey for a working holiday visa? How long does it take from application to approval?

You don't need a face-to-face visa for working holiday, just prepare the materials and submit them. Theoretically, it means about 10 working days, but it took me almost a month from submission to getting a visa! ! But it's much faster for some people to submit their materials in person at the immigration office.

It is said that a telephone survey is needed now. As long as there is no tendency to work illegally and smuggle, you can generally answer truthfully. Immigration is also trying to find out about your situation.

The application process is: register in official website-apply online-receive the confirmation email-prepare the materials (IELTS, financial proof, education certificate, visa fee, passport, X-ray) according to the email requirements-submit within 60 days-get the visa!
