纽西兰工作旅游须知

申请Visa
年龄介于18-30岁都有资格申请纽西兰工作旅游,申请网站为∶
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/work/workingholiday/

申请手续可以完全通过网上办理,申请手续在通过信用卡缴费后才会被处理。一般会在一个月内获得Visa。Visa的有效期为一年,通常是以批准日期开始计算。马来西亚公民申请的working holiday visa获准在纽西兰工作旅游6个月,Visa截止前可以申请延长签证多3个月。

关卡问题∶
1)马来西亚人无需准备身体检查报告。
2)签证如果有著名Outward passage waived的话就不须准备回程机票。
3)条例注明要带至少NZ$2200和足够买回程机票的钱,但一般关卡人员不会严格检差(视个别情况而定)
4)只要具备基本英语对答能力,海关人员一般不会为难


工作问题∶
旅游工作visa持有者可以在纽西兰从事各种工作,但普遍上比较容易找到的是果园工作,包装厂工作,餐馆及旅馆工作。每个季节都有会有工作机会,但冬天工作机会比较少,气温低的情况下户外工也会比较辛苦。2月到4月是大部分水果的收成季节,这个时候工作机会比较高。夏天是属于旅游旺季,所以在那个季节旅馆的工作机会也比较多。一般来说雇主会优先考虑人在当地的申请者,因此人在海外的网上申请通常不受理。但通过工作网站可以知道什么地方的工作机会比较多。

1)Te Puke是奇异果王国,那里提供奇异果的相关工作机会。
2)Hasting 是许多蔬菜水果的种植地,那里也提供蛮多工作机会。
3)Blenheim是葡萄园王国,那里提供许多葡萄园的相关工作。
4)Telley's在纽西兰许多地方都设有包装厂,那里提供室内包装工作。

纽西兰的季节工一般以小时或工作份量计算。小时工最低薪金为NZ$12.50;以工作分量计算的工作则有个别计算方法。一般旅游工作的员工都会被抽去12.50%的所得税,雇主通常会直接从薪水扣除17%-20%来缴所得税,但回国前可以申请退税,一般退回12.5%以外多缴的税(视个别情况而定)。纽西兰的薪水一般是每个星期发一次。

住宿
短期住宿可以考虑背包旅馆。长期的话可以考虑组房子,价格通常介于每星期NZ$70-NZ$90
(per person)不等。一般在超级市场的布告栏可以找到租屋告示。


交通
纽西兰的车子很便宜,一般NZ$2000左右可以买到不错的二手车子。但最好先具备基本选购二手车的知识以免买到有问题的车子。WOF(Warrant of fitness)是车子安全性能的证明,所有车子都必须拥有WOF才能在纽西兰的路上行驶。持有马来西亚的驾驶执照被允许在纽西兰开车,但最好在JPJ申请一个translate letter以免当地交警看不懂马来文的驾驶执照内容。

基本配备
1)行李∶最好是背包,方便携带,因为可能会经常需要带着行李爬坡或爬楼梯。
2)相机:旅游的最佳纪录
3)手提电脑∶ 方便上网和储存相机资料
4)旅游书籍∶Lonely Planet提供相当齐全的旅游资料
5)GPS手机∶能够方便的找到目的地(但要记得装上纽西兰地图)
6)衣物∶不需要带太多,因为当地也有的卖,基本上几件长袖衣,外套及长裤
7)睡袋∶有一些旅馆不提供棉被或必须而外收费

保险
政府管理 的意外事故康復和賠償保險計划-(ACC),適用于在紐西蘭境內的公民,居民,甚至臨時來者。ACC為遭受意外事故(包括體育運動受傷),醫療事故,或因犯罪活動而造成傷害的人提供全天候24小時的,不追究過失責任的個人事故保險。ACC通常支付大部分的醫療費 用。
ACC負擔的醫療費用可包括專科醫生或牙醫,處方藥物,X光照片及手術。如你 接受經ACC註冊的理療師,脊椎按摩師和整骨師,語言矯正或職業病理療師,足病醫師或針灸醫師的治 療,ACC 還可能為你負擔部分費用。

如果你遭受嚴重傷害或突發重病,你將得到公立醫院免費的24小時事故和急診室的緊急治療。


但旅游保险还是可以作为额外保障。

    1. I would like to know that when do they start counting the 6 months HWV period? If I apply and got approve on today's date, do they start counting from today or during the day I reach New Zealand?
    YES! They count the day once you enter NZ.

    2. If my application got approved then can I depart later? How long is the torelant period?
    Valid for 1 year, mean that during 1year, you must go NZ,othervise after 1 year, your NZWHS Visa will expired, wont hv 2nd chance to apply.

    No matter when you apply is same, the NZWHS Visa can valid 1 year, but they start count the 6months is when you enter NZ.

    The more important is the date b4 you back from NZ, your Passport still hv >6months to expired.If not, better renew your passport b4 apply NZWHS Visa. Bcos your Passport will appear on the NZWHS Visa.Once you renew the Passport,mean Passport no. will be different. So you hv some proceduce to request NZ Immigration Office help you to change to Passport No. on the NZWHS Visa.

    No matter NZ hv any international bank or not, you can trasfer your $$ back too. Will you think you will earn alot of $$ in NZ? All Bank in NZ can transfer back ur $$. Good Luck!
    P/S: WHat is ABS? =>AirBagSystem? :P
