Missed the window for my WHV, just wondering what options I have.

Hi all,

I'm very new to this process but basically I applied for a WHV a few years ago and it was canceled due to the pandemic and I missed the window for my renewal. I called immigration yesterday and they told me that I could only apply once and that my only other option is to find sponsorship and they would send me a link or something to reapply. Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation or if you could point me to a thread that might have more information, sorry if this question has been asked a million times before, not sure what to search for.

Thanks.

p.s. if anyone wants to sponsor me I'm a real cool guy with lots of experience, mainly working on farms and outdoor guide work. can send you a CV if you're interested!

It may be worth checking if you're eligible for a BUNAC visa for NZ. https://bunac.org/working-holidays/w...-holiday-visas This isn't the same as a WHV, and you're not debarred from it because you missed your chance in the pandemic.
