2016/17 quota
The quota will open on 17 August 2016 at 10:00 AM New Zealand time.
Online application
Applications for this scheme must be made online by following the link in the 'How do I apply?' section below. You will need a valid Visa or MasterCard credit card. This is the only way to pay for your online application.
However, before you apply, please read the following important information.
To be eligible
You must:
be a citizen of the Republic of Croatia and have a passport from Croatia that is valid for at least three months after your planned departure from New Zealand
be at least 18 and not more than 30 years old
not bring children with you
hold a return ticket or sufficient funds to purchase such a ticket*
have a minimum of NZ$4,200 available funds to meet your living costs while you’re here
meet our health and character requirements
hold medical and comprehensive hospitalisation insurance for the length of your stay
be coming to New Zealand to holiday, with work or study being secondary intentions for your visit
not have been approved a visa under a working holiday scheme before.
AND
If you are already in New Zealand, must hold a valid temporary visa.
* You are required to hold sufficient funds for the duration of your visit and for the purchase of an outward ticket from New Zealand. Such evidence may be requested on arrival at the border.
Health requirements
You will need to meet our health requirements for temporary entry to New Zealand.
Our Working Holiday Schemes online system will tell you whether you need to send us a completed Medical and/or Chest X-ray Certificate. This is based on the maximum length of stay that you are allowed under your country's working holiday scheme (not your intended stay), along with your responses to our health requirement questions.
You will receive full instructions on how to submit the certificate(s) in an automated email shortly after submitting your application. Depending on your scheme, the certificate must be received by Immigration New Zealand within 15 or 20 consecutive days from the date your application is submitted. The email will also advise you of this so it is important that you read it thoroughly.
Character requirements
You will need to meet our character requirements for temporary entry to New Zealand.
Note: If we have concerns about your character and require additional information, such as a police certificate, the processing of your application may be delayed.
When you are here
You must not take up permanent employment (unless you apply for and are granted an ordinary work visa while you are here).
You must not work for the same employer for more than three months.
You can enrol in one or more courses of training or study of up to six months’ duration in total during your visit.
Note: New Zealand law prohibits any person on a temporary visa including a working holiday scheme work visa, from providing commercial sexual services, or operating or investing in a business which provides such services.
Tax
Like all New Zealand workers, you will need an IRD number so that your employer can deduct tax from your earnings at the correct rate. In New Zealand, you pay tax on a pay as you earn (PAYE) basis. This means that there should not be a large refund or an amount to pay when you leave. For more information see Inland Revenue'sTravelling to New Zealand webpage.
