After we have done a loop around south island and part of north island of NZ, we have some time to work out this blog in Auckland where we celebrated our 2012 new year eve yesterday night. After that, we will travel to Mountain Tongariro National Park and Northland before heading back to Malaysia, our lovely homeland.
One of the only 2 countries in the world that issues Working Holiday Visa for Malaysians, besides Australia. We had applied this visa online in January 2012 when we were in Australia for our working holiday there. Actually if you are planning to go to both countries for working holiday, it is actually more convenient to apply for the Aus's visa first then NZ because for Aus visa, we have to apply personally at the Australian High Commission @ KL and much more hassle, look at Australia Working Holiday Visa. Then when you are done in Aus, can apply online for NZ visa, but remember to apply early of the year since it is becoming more and MORE popular! (That is how we do it).

NZ online application is so easy, and does not need any supporting documents. Everything you need to know about applying online for NZ working holiday visa is HERE:
Too easy... ! The quota for Malaysians begins every January. So create a login ID and password at the NZ immi first and go through the online form so you know what to fill in when the application opens! Ooh, also need to pay online using a credit card under your own name when applying. Then after few days/ a week of submitting the application, go online and check your app status. Congratulations you will be planning your NZ Trip!!! *Provided you have meet their requirements*
So Exciting!
We went to NZ in September 2012 after a year in AUssie and it can never get BETTER! We LOVE NZ!
