WHV conditions and current job situation

[hansel]

Hi,

is it right that I can work 12 months full-time for the same employer (WHV Germany)?

Also:
How is the current job situation? After Trump and Brexit - Do you see any impact on the job market? Or maybe real estate market?

thanks!

WI2.1 Requirements for all working holiday scheme applicants
As well as meeting the specific requirements for the relevant working holiday scheme, applicants must also meet the requirements under Generic Temporary Entry Instructions, and the conditions below.

WI2.1.1 General conditions

The objective of working holiday schemes is to allow young citizens of approved countries, whose primary intention is to holiday in New Zealand, to undertake employment and study during their stay in accordance with their scheme.
To be eligible for a work visa under these schemes, applicants, in addition to meeting the requirements of the particular scheme they are applying under, must:
hold a valid passport from the country whose scheme they are applying under; and
be aged no less than 18 years of age and no more than 30 years of age, unless their scheme allows a different age limit; and
not be accompanied by children; and
meet onward travel requirements (see W2.20); and
submit an application in the prescribed manner (see E4.50); and
pay the appropriate fee and immigration levy (if any); and
meet health and character requirements as set out at A4 and A5; and
be the holder of a valid temporary visa if applying from within New Zealand; and
not previously have been approved a visa under a working holiday scheme, except where their scheme allows a second application (see WI2.20(e) and WI2.160(f)).
Applicants are not required to provide evidence of a job offer.
Where a scheme has an 'ordinarily resident' requirement the applicant's usual place of permanent residence must be that country. This requirement is considered to be met if the applicant has not been absent from that country for more than two years immediately preceding the application.
Successful applicants must not undertake permanent employment unless they apply for and obtain a work visa that enables this.
Successful applicants may enrol in one or more courses of training or study of up to 6 months' duration in total during their visit to New Zealand.




WI2.60 Germany Working Holiday Scheme
This scheme is available to young citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany.
To be eligible for a work visa under this scheme, applicants must:
be citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany; and
have a minimum of NZ$4,200 available funds for their maintenance during the period of stay in New Zealand; and
agree to hold medical and comprehensive hospitalisation insurance that will remain current throughout their stay in New Zealand; and
meet the requirements at WI2.1.1(b).
Successful applicants will be granted a work visa with the following conditions:
if the applicant is outside New Zealand, first entry to New Zealand must be made within 12 months of the visa being granted, and the visa will allow work and multiple entries to New Zealand for 12 months from first arrival; or
if the applicant is in New Zealand, the visa will allow work and multiple entries to New Zealand for 12 months.
Applicants under this scheme must lodge their application in the prescribed manner (E4.50).
