Working holiday to new zealand?

Question

Hello,

i'm going to new zealand on my working holiday visa.

i want to know whether the immigration officer will ask us to show the proof of money ? if i show my credit card, is there way for them to check it ?

thanks

Answer 1

Its sounds like your up to something dodgy with the question you've just asked.  Of course immigration have ways of checking stuff out, so if your lying, they're found out & you won't be allowed into New Zealand & your be deported back to your own country.

Answer 2

Immigration is entitled to ask

Therefore, even though they might not ask you how much money you have, you should expect to be asked.

This does NOT mean carrying it all in cash obviously. A recent bank statement is sufficient.

Answer 3

I thought that the working holiday visa was for the holder to be able to work to pay for their holiday

They will probably just ask you whther you have enough money to support yourself before you find work, and probably saying yes or showing them a bank statement or even just showing them your credit or debit card will do.
