How about a working holiday in New Zealand? What preparations are needed?

Since 2008, on October 1 of each year, the New Zealand government will issue working holiday visas to 1,000 Chinese citizens who meet certain conditions, namely working holiday visas. Chinese citizens who successfully apply for a visa can travel, live, work, etc. in New Zealand during the one-year visa period. Through their own labor or any other method, they can earn a certain amount of travel expenses and control their daily expenses during the trip.

I successfully applied for a visa in October 2009 through a completely DIY method, and set off in March 2010, passing through Kuala Lumpur and arriving in Auckland. During my stay in New Zealand, I had about 8 paid jobs, and one job in exchange for food and accommodation, including: kiwi fruit packaging, vineyard pruning, TALLEYS fish factory, youth hostel exchange, cherries I worked as a garden sales assistant, cherry picking, cherry packaging, apricot packaging, and apple packaging; the cumulative working time of these 8 jobs was more than 5 months, less than 6 months. In addition, due to the earthquake in New Zealand, I ended up in New Zealand. I stayed for 15 months, but all my daily expenses, including air tickets back to my country, and my trips to other countries and some cities in China on the way back to my country, were enough to cover all my daily expenses. In one year, I traveled around New Zealand, from the northernmost part of the North Island to the southernmost part of the South Island, and I deeply realized what 100% pure New Zealand is; for transportation, I drove my own car, took the bus, took the plane, took the train, and took the Ferries and, of course, hitchhiking are also one of New Zealand's special features. Many backpackers from various countries I met on the road said that New Zealand is the best country for hitchhiking. I have thought of so many things first, and I saw that the New Zealand Immigration Bureau website shows that there are still vacancies for working holidays, so if you have ideas and age permit, please hurry up and act~ Finally, a friendly reminder: You can apply for a visa by yourself without any agent. intermediary.
