    Default Help - about Working Holiday Visa

    I came to NZ about 2 and half years ago from South Korea as a student and I'm trying to apply for Working Holiday visa this year.

    My questions are :

    1. Is it possible to apply working holiday visa while I'm in NZ already?

    2. I heard if you were living in NZ more than 2 recent years, you are not eligible for working holiday visa but I can't find any information about it. Is it true I can't apply for Working Holiday if I've been living in NZ recent 2 years?

    I really need to get this visa and It makes my very nervous that I might not eligible for this visa. Help!!!
