Hi everyone,
Is there anyone out there who can tell me whether you are allowed to be self-employed when on a WHV visa? I can't find the definitive answer.
When phoning NZIS about whether you can be self-employed on a WHV the reply was that it was fine as long as you don't work for the same client for more than 6months.
But I'm still unsure as I can't find it anywhere in the NZIS manuals and if I started to pay tax on self-employed earnings, if they were wrong, then I could get into trouble.....so I need to be sure. If it was OK and I managed to work as a self-employed person legitimately in NZ then after two years I could apply for an entrepreneural visa, but I've never heard of anyone doing this and don't want to get it wrong.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks
