    Hi, I'm interested in moving over to New Zealand to work for a year. Usit run a 1 year working Holiday visa but the work is supposed to be casual. I work in the Film & Television industry in the camera department and I doubt this would be considered casual work.

    I also will not be eligible for their "Skilled Migrant Category". This I think leaves me with one choice, apply for the working holiday visa and try apply for a proper working visa once I'm there. Are there any websites for applying for jobs? Can anyone give me any advice on what I should do?

    Thanks:)

    No you can work in the film industry on a WHV, the reason they say 'casual' is that it is a holiday visa (ideally work to fund your holiday). But as you say you can try get a job on WHV and get sponsorship from there.

    I will say this, do a search on the forum for New Zealand visa ... there has lots of discussion about visas

    Mod EDIT closing this thread as you have already asked this in another thread.
