This is a unique visa to BUNAC/IEP. You can only have this visa once in a lifetime, however it will not affect your future eligibility for the Working Holiday Visa. |
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. However, if you have already had one of these visas you can still apply for the IEP Work Exchange Visa. If you intend to stay in New Zealand for more than 12 months, you will need to have a medical as part of the visa application process. BUNAC will issue guidelines regarding this. |
 |
This visa is ideal for school or university vacations, ski trips or a short-term working holiday. There are a limited number of visas available. BUNAC will allocate them on a first-come first-served basis. |
Great if you want to spend over a year in New Zealand. |
