Hi all
Hoping to get some advice on the following.
I'm an Australian male who met a Brazilian female last year travelling through South America. She recently came out to visit me, and in a few months, I'm going to go back out to visit her and meet all the family + friends.
We were originally hoping she could move out to Australia at the beginning of next year but this is proving difficult.
After some research, I found out she can apply in September for a WHV in NZ, and as an Australian, I can also work in NZ.
So, our plan was, she applies in September when the scheme opens this year and puts down early next year (Feb or March) as her intended start date, and I begin looking for a job (from Australia, and probably a 12 month contract type job) when/if she is approved.
The reason for her delaying the WHV to early next year is she won't have the required $4200 at the time of application, as she is still finishing her masters and her scholarship doesn't pay a great deal, so she would work after her masters finishes for 6 months to build up the required funds. Does she need to prove she has the funds at the time of application? Or will they just ask for a recent bank statement when she arrives?
Anything else she should know about before applying?
Thanks in advance
