Answer 1

Kia Ora - Greetings from New Zealand,

There is something called the "Malaysia Working Holiday Scheme" which is available to you. There are 1150 places available annually under this scheme to young citizens of Malaysia for a stay of 6 months.

You need to apply for a permit, so see the following website:

http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/s...

To be eligible you must:

- Have a Malaysian passport that‘s valid for at least three months after your planned departure from New Zealand.

- Be at least 18 and not more than 30 years old

- Not bring children with you

- Hold a return ticket or sufficient funds to purchase such a ticket*

- Have a minimum of NZ$2,250 available funds to meet your living costs while you’re here

- Meet our health and character requirements

- Be coming to New Zealand to holiday, with work being a secondary intention for your visit .

- Not have been approved a visa or permit under a Working Holiday Scheme before.

Hope this is helpful. Enjoy your visit to our beautiful country.

You should consider WOOFing. You travel from farm to farm and work in exchange for food and housing. You can do as little as 2 days at a time or as long as a few months. This way you can travel around and see the whole country.

If you only do two things on your trip, go hiking in Abel Tasman and go swimming with the dolphins. Have fun!
