What is the Working Holiday Visa?<\/h2>\n<p>The New Zealand Working Holiday Visa was created by the governments of the United States and New Zealand (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.immigration.govt.nz\/visas\/usa-working-holiday-visa\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">official agreement<\/a>) to encourage young Americans to travel, live, and work in New Zealand. In return, young New Zealanders can also explore the United States.<\/p>\n<p>As a U.S. passport holder, you can obtain a Working Holiday Visa to New Zealand for up to <strong>12 months.<\/strong> If you complete three months of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.immigration.govt.nz\/visas\/working-holiday-extension-work-visa\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">seasonal work<\/a> in the horticulture or viticulture industries during your stay, you may extend your visa by <strong>another three months,<\/strong> for a total of 15 months.<\/p>\n<p>The Working Holiday Visa is an open work permit, which means you can work for any employer.
