    Can't find answer to this on previous threads but anyone know if there is any way of getting a 2nd Year Working Holiday Visa for New Zealand like you can in OZ with the 3months country work. Also can you work for 1 employer for 12 months(or 24months) straight with the WHV visa ?

    nope not in NZ, if you do 3 months agricultural work you can get a 3 month extension but not another full year...and there is no 6 month restriction on the amount of time you work with an employer in NZ like there is in OZ (but obviously you cant work over 1 year)

    If you are elligible for a British passport you can get a 2 year NZ WHV.

    Not sure why you bumped this thread with that questions. If you did a search there are a lot of other threads asking this specific question.

    Anyhoo - applying through London online took me 3 days to get approved. You get an e-visa to print out and take with you so you don't need to send them your passport or anything. It was a very quick and simple process.
