New Zealand - Finland working holiday scheme

The New Zealand - Finland Working Holiday Scheme offers an opportunity for young New Zealanders to visit Finland for a period of up to twelve months with the objective of combining a holiday with work experience.

For information about how to apply please visit the website of the Embassy of Finland in Australia (which is accredited to New Zealand). Follow the links to 'consular services', then 'working holiday permit'.

The same scheme offers young Finnish people the opportunity of a 12 month stay in New Zealand on similar terms. For further information on obtaining a Working Holiday Visa for New Zealand, please click here.
