New Zealand Working Holiday Visa

op here, seems like I wrote a lot more but it didn't post, oh well.

are restaurant jobs a possibility? Do people hire people on temporary visas, most of my work is food related and I love working in food. But, I will go wherever the work is, so something like picking fruit isn't out of the question.

Also what websites are good for looking at buying a car? Just trying to brainstorm for this kind of stuff at the moment.

Yes, definitely.

You might also want to consider working in Australia over New Zealand.

Not OP, but why would Australia be preferable to NZ?

I'm interested in both desu. However, I've heard Australia is more expensive and its more expensive to own a car.

Australia might be better because the pay would be better and there are more jobs. If you really enjoy it, you can also extend the visa by a year under certain circumstances.

New Zealand has a lot of great nature and adventure sports, but it can also be pretty boring if you're looking for good nightlife or something like that and not in a major city...

To put that in perspective, I would say Wellington is the best city after Auckland and it has just 200,000 inhabitants. Major Australian cities are all in the millions.

Although if you are only doing this for one year and treating it primarily as a holiday, earning potential might not matter much.

In all honesty, I would choose New Zealand, but there are certainly drawbacks.

You might want to spoof your Tinder location in a few cities in each country for a while and see what you think of the women in each country.

wellington interests me. I don't really care for big city life that much. Been living outside of a major city in the USA for 20 years and i'm looking for a change of pace regarding commutes/transportation. Only thing I really care about is the big name concerts that come through, which I can live without if there are some good local DJ's.

i'm fairly religious, so i'm not looking to get laid. Thanks for looking out though!

Both are going to seem very expensive compared to America. Gas is like $6 USD a gallon.

You might have luck with big name concerts in Wellington -- Guns N Roses will be there next year -- but if a band has to choose just one city, it will almost assuredly be Auckland.

I would choose Wellington as long as you can find a decent job there.
However, there's also something to be said about moving around jobs/locations.
If you end up in NZ, you should try to get a job in the South Island as well and explore down there, even if just for a month or two.

thanks! Everything is still up in the air, just trying to bounce ideas

Dont tell people you are on work holiday visa because they will rarely hire you.

Say you just moved here.

does it matter if I'm blatantly american? I have a bit of a southern drawl. Fellow americans don't notice, but people in Europe did. I say y'all a lot. I thought they had to scan my visa to be employed legally n shit.
