Visa Information

If you want to come to New Zealand as an au pair, volunteer, worker, trainee or tourist you will have to apply for a visa to enter the country and be eligible to work or travel around.

Here is some general information about what visas are most common for our programs. More detailed information you will find on the website of Immigration New Zealand. We will provide you with the information that is needed, but you must make sure that you apply for the correct visa and inform yourself about the conditions. Failure to do this is not Linguavision's responsibility.
